Depreciation of plant is on a straight-line basis and charged to cost of sales. The fair value of the plant has not been incorporated in the financial statements.
ii) In the post-acquisition period, Aba sold goods to Boafo at a total value of GH¢4.6 million. These goods cost Aba GH¢3 million. During the year, Boafo had sold GH¢2.5 million out of the GH¢4.6 million goods from Aba for GH¢3.2 million.

The Accountant of Aba who is not a Chartered Accountant credited the value of the building to revenue. It has been advised that the recognition of this transaction should be done in line with the provisions of IAS 20: Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. It is the group’s policy to recognise grants relating to assets as deferred income.

Calculate goodwill for Abirem at acquisition and at reporting for a group financial statement consolidation.

Tafo Group is a key player in the food processing industry made up only of Tafo Ltd (Tafo) and Abirem Ltd (Abirem). Below are the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Tafo Group and the separate statements of comprehensive income of Tafo and Bonsu Ltd (Bonsu) for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Statements of Comprehensive Income for the Year Ended 31 December 2020

GH¢ Million Tafo Group Tafo Bonsu
Revenue 116 90 25
Cost of Sales (78) (62) (15)
Gross Profit 38 28 10
Distribution Costs (7) (5) (1.6)
Administrative Expenses (11) (7.5) (3.4)
Finance Costs (8.5) (2) (0.5)
Investment Income 6 5.3
Profit Before Tax 17.5 18.8 4.5
Tax (5.6) (4.8) (1.5)
Profit for the Year 11.9 14 3
Other Comprehensive Income
Gain on Revaluation (Net of Tax) 4.5 3.4
Total Comprehensive Income 16.4 17.4 3

Additional Information:

  1. Tafo purchased 80% of the 10 million ordinary shares (all issued at GH¢2 each) of Abirem on 1 January 2020 when the balance of Abirem’s reserves was GH¢35 million. Tafo agreed to settle the consideration in two unconditional instalments as follows:
    • Cash payment of GH¢33 million on 1 January 2021.
    • Cash payment of GH¢30.25 million on 1 January 2022.

    The policy of the group is to value any non-controlling interests at fair value. For this purpose, it was agreed to use the share price of Abirem as an approximation of its fair value. Abirem’s market capitalisation figures at 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2020 stood at GH¢70 million and GH¢75 million, respectively. The appropriate discount rate for Tafo is 10%. The required unwound discount has been included in the group’s (but not Tafo’s) finance costs.

  2. On 1 January 2020, a fair value exercise was carried out on Abirem’s net assets. The results showed that the book value of the depreciable plant was higher than its fair value by GH¢4 million. Post-acquisition depreciation adjustment of GH¢0.8 million is required.
  3. Tafo has held a 20% equity interest in Bonsu for several years. On 31 December 2020, an impairment loss of GH¢0.2 million was estimated for the investment in the associate. The group’s policy is to present the share of the associate’s profit before tax and share of the associate’s tax expense separately within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The investment income of the group shown above includes the group’s share of associate’s profit before tax (including the effects of the GH¢0.2 million impairment loss).
  4. Sales from Abirem to Tafo occurring evenly throughout the year amounted to GH¢8 million. By 31 December 2020, Tafo had sold all these goods except for items worth GH¢1.8 million. Abirem applies a cost-plus 20% markup on all sales.
  5. At 31 December 2020, it was concluded that 5% of the goodwill in Abirem had been impaired. The impairment has been charged to administrative expenses.
  6. Assume that all the necessary consolidation adjustments are correctly included in the above consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Required:
a) Calculate the goodwill in Abirem at acquisition and reporting.

This question tests candidates on the calculation of goodwill for an acquisition and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Spacefon Ltd (Spacefon), in its quest to gain dominance in the telecommunication industry, bought an 80% holding in the equity of Buzz and 40% of the equity shares of Kasapa Ltd (Kasapa) on 1 July 2017. The purchase price of the investment of Buzz Ltd (Buzz) was agreed at GH¢4,400 million, of which GH¢1,600 million was paid in cash. The remaining balance was paid by issuing 800 million equity shares each of GH¢1 nominal value to the seller at their then fair value of GH¢3.50 each. The 20% non-controlling interest in Buzz had a fair value of GH¢900 million at that date. Buzz’s net assets had a fair value of GH¢4,700 million on 1 July 2017. Spacefon applies the fair value method to calculate goodwill on acquisition.

The following statements of comprehensive income relate to Spacefon and its investee companies, Buzz and Kasapa.

Statements of Profit or Loss for the year ended 31 October 2017 Spacefon Ltd (GH¢ million) Buzz Ltd (GH¢ million) Kasapa Ltd (GH¢ million)
Revenue 4,428 2,448 1,530

Gross Profit 2,754 1,584 849.6
Operating expenses (1,116) (828) (522)
Finance costs (180) (108) (54)
Other income 32.4
Investment income 129.6
Profit before taxation 1,620 648 273.6
Taxation (270) (108) (54)
Profit for the year 1,350 540 219.6
Other comprehensive income
Gains on revaluations of property 226.8 72 64.8
Total comprehensive income for the year 1576.8 612 284.4

Additional Information:

  1. Included in the fair value of Buzz’s net assets on the acquisition date was some machinery owned by Buzz but carried at GH¢90 million below its fair value. The revised fair value was not incorporated into the books of Buzz, as Buzz has not adopted a policy of revaluing machinery assets. The useful economic life of this machinery at the acquisition date was estimated to be six years.
  2. During the post-acquisition period, Buzz sold goods to Spacefon for GH¢50 million. These goods were sold by Buzz at a profit of 30 pesewas per GH¢1 on the sales price, and 40% of the goods remained in the inventory of Spacefon at 31 October 2017.
  3. Since acquiring its investment in Buzz, Spacefon has managed the administration of the entire group. Spacefon invoiced Buzz GH¢4 million for its share of these costs. Spacefon recorded this transaction within “other income,” and Buzz recorded it within “operating expenses.”
  4. The goodwill of Buzz was reviewed for impairment at 31 October 2017 and was found to have a recoverable amount of GH¢400 million. There was no impairment of the investment in Kasapa.
  5. On 1 October 2017, Spacefon sold some land to Kasapa for GH¢12 million, recording a profit of GH¢8 million. This profit is included within “other income” in the books of Spacefon.

(Note: All calculations may be taken to the nearest GH¢0.01 million, and assume all expenses and gains accrue evenly throughout the year unless otherwise instructed.)

Required: a) Calculate the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Buzz by Spacefon, and the goodwill amount that should appear in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Spacefon as at 31 October 2017. (3 marks)

b) Prepare a Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss account for Spacefon Group for the year ended 31 October 2017 in accordance with IFRS. (17 marks)

Calculate goodwill for Abirem at acquisition and at reporting for a group financial statement consolidation.

Tafo Group is a key player in the food processing industry made up only of Tafo Ltd (Tafo) and Abirem Ltd (Abirem). Below are the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Tafo Group and the separate statements of comprehensive income of Tafo and Bonsu Ltd (Bonsu) for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Statements of Comprehensive Income for the Year Ended 31 December 2020

GH¢ Million Tafo Group Tafo Bonsu
Revenue 116 90 25
Cost of Sales (78) (62) (15)
Gross Profit 38 28 10
Distribution Costs (7) (5) (1.6)
Administrative Expenses (11) (7.5) (3.4)
Finance Costs (8.5) (2) (0.5)
Investment Income 6 5.3
Profit Before Tax 17.5 18.8 4.5
Tax (5.6) (4.8) (1.5)
Profit for the Year 11.9 14 3
Other Comprehensive Income
Gain on Revaluation (Net of Tax) 4.5 3.4
Total Comprehensive Income 16.4 17.4 3

Additional Information:

  1. Tafo purchased 80% of the 10 million ordinary shares (all issued at GH¢2 each) of Abirem on 1 January 2020 when the balance of Abirem’s reserves was GH¢35 million. Tafo agreed to settle the consideration in two unconditional instalments as follows:
    • Cash payment of GH¢33 million on 1 January 2021.
    • Cash payment of GH¢30.25 million on 1 January 2022.

    The policy of the group is to value any non-controlling interests at fair value. For this purpose, it was agreed to use the share price of Abirem as an approximation of its fair value. Abirem’s market capitalisation figures at 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2020 stood at GH¢70 million and GH¢75 million, respectively. The appropriate discount rate for Tafo is 10%. The required unwound discount has been included in the group’s (but not Tafo’s) finance costs.

  2. On 1 January 2020, a fair value exercise was carried out on Abirem’s net assets. The results showed that the book value of the depreciable plant was higher than its fair value by GH¢4 million. Post-acquisition depreciation adjustment of GH¢0.8 million is required.
  3. Tafo has held a 20% equity interest in Bonsu for several years. On 31 December 2020, an impairment loss of GH¢0.2 million was estimated for the investment in the associate. The group’s policy is to present the share of the associate’s profit before tax and share of the associate’s tax expense separately within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The investment income of the group shown above includes the group’s share of associate’s profit before tax (including the effects of the GH¢0.2 million impairment loss).
  4. Sales from Abirem to Tafo occurring evenly throughout the year amounted to GH¢8 million. By 31 December 2020, Tafo had sold all these goods except for items worth GH¢1.8 million. Abirem applies a cost-plus 20% markup on all sales.
  5. At 31 December 2020, it was concluded that 5% of the goodwill in Abirem had been impaired. The impairment has been charged to administrative expenses.
  6. Assume that all the necessary consolidation adjustments are correctly included in the above consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Required:
a) Calculate the goodwill in Abirem at acquisition and reporting.

FR – Nov 2017 – L2 – Q1a – Group Financial Statements and Consolidation

This question tests candidates on the calculation of goodwill for an acquisition and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Spacefon Ltd (Spacefon), in its quest to gain dominance in the telecommunication industry, bought an 80% holding in the equity of Buzz and 40% of the equity shares of Kasapa Ltd (Kasapa) on 1 July 2017. The purchase price of the investment of Buzz Ltd (Buzz) was agreed at GH¢4,400 million, of which GH¢1,600 million was paid in cash. The remaining balance was paid by issuing 800 million equity shares each of GH¢1 nominal value to the seller at their then fair value of GH¢3.50 each. The 20% non-controlling interest in Buzz had a fair value of GH¢900 million at that date. Buzz’s net assets had a fair value of GH¢4,700 million on 1 July 2017. Spacefon applies the fair value method to calculate goodwill on acquisition.

The following statements of comprehensive income relate to Spacefon and its investee companies, Buzz and Kasapa.

Statements of Profit or Loss for the year ended 31 October 2017 Spacefon Ltd (GH¢ million) Buzz Ltd (GH¢ million) Kasapa Ltd (GH¢ million)
Revenue 4,428 2,448 1,530
Cost of Sales (1,674) (864) (680.4)
Gross Profit 2,754 1,584 849.6
Operating expenses (1,116) (828) (522)
Finance costs (180) (108) (54)
Other income 32.4
Investment income 129.6
Profit before taxation 1,620 648 273.6
Taxation (270) (108) (54)
Profit for the year 1,350 540 219.6
Other comprehensive income
Gains on revaluations of property 226.8 72 64.8
Total comprehensive income for the year 1576.8 612 284.4

Additional Information:

  1. Included in the fair value of Buzz’s net assets on the acquisition date was some machinery owned by Buzz but carried at GH¢90 million below its fair value. The revised fair value was not incorporated into the books of Buzz, as Buzz has not adopted a policy of revaluing machinery assets. The useful economic life of this machinery at the acquisition date was estimated to be six years.
  2. During the post-acquisition period, Buzz sold goods to Spacefon for GH¢50 million. These goods were sold by Buzz at a profit of 30 pesewas per GH¢1 on the sales price, and 40% of the goods remained in the inventory of Spacefon at 31 October 2017.
  3. Since acquiring its investment in Buzz, Spacefon has managed the administration of the entire group. Spacefon invoiced Buzz GH¢4 million for its share of these costs. Spacefon recorded this transaction within “other income,” and Buzz recorded it within “operating expenses.”
  4. The goodwill of Buzz was reviewed for impairment at 31 October 2017 and was found to have a recoverable amount of GH¢400 million. There was no impairment of the investment in Kasapa.
  5. On 1 October 2017, Spacefon sold some land to Kasapa for GH¢12 million, recording a profit of GH¢8 million. This profit is included within “other income” in the books of Spacefon.

(Note: All calculations may be taken to the nearest GH¢0.01 million, and assume all expenses and gains accrue evenly throughout the year unless otherwise instructed.)

Required: a) Calculate the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Buzz by Spacefon, and the goodwill amount that should appear in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Spacefon as at 31 October 2017. (3 marks)

b) Prepare a Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss account for Spacefon Group for the year ended 31 October 2017 in accordance with IFRS. (17 marks)
