Question
Below are the statements of financial position of two entities: Adanse Plc (Adanse) and Fomena Plc (Fomena).
Statement of financial position as at 31 August 2021

Additional information:
i) All ordinary shares were issued at GH¢2 per share. There have been no movements in the share capital of Fomena since its acquisition.
ii) On 1 September 2020, Adanse acquired 80% ordinary shares in Fomena when Fomena’s retained earnings balance was GH¢45 million. The purchase and sale agreement provided that the shares should be settled as follows:
- Immediate issue of Adanse’s 25 million 15% cumulative redeemable preference shares, issued at GH¢3 per share. Adanse has not yet recorded this consideration.
- Immediate transfer of a parcel of land with a carrying amount and fair value of GH¢17 million and GH¢20 million respectively. Adanse has only debited “Investment in shares” and credited “Property, Plant and Equipment” with the carrying amount of the land.
Goodwill in Fomena has been impaired by 10%. Goodwill is valued using full fair value method. Each ordinary share of Fomena had a fair market price of GH¢6 at acquisition and GH¢7.5 at the current year-end.
iii) At acquisition date, the carrying amount of Fomena’s identifiable net assets were equal to their fair value except the following two items:
- Intangible asset (purchased franchise right) has a fair value of GH¢12 million and carrying amount of GH¢8 million. Its remaining useful life was estimated at 5 years. The recoverable amount of the right at 31 August 2021 was estimated at GH¢9 million. Fomena has not incorporated the fair values in its separate financial statements. (Ignore deferred tax for this adjustment)
- An item of equipment has its fair value of GH¢5 million in excess of its carrying amount. It had a remaining useful life of 5 years. This fair value adjustment should be deemed as a temporary difference which suffers tax of 20%.
iv) Fomena sold goods to Adanse for GH¢3.2 million in July 2021. Adanse held a half of these items in its year-end inventory. Fomena bought the goods sold to Adanse for GH¢5 million from an outside supplier. At year-end, Fomena still owed the supplier 40% of the purchase cost. At year-end, Adanse did not owe Fomena in respect of the above transactions. All items were in good condition at the date of transfer. Ignore any deferred tax implications.
v) Adanse accounts for all passive equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value of Adanse’s investment in Fomena was GH¢110 million as at 31 August 2021.
