Q

What do you refer to the account for intra-group trading?

A

when companies within a group trade the intra-group debtor and intra-group trade creditor are referred to as the ‘current account’

26
Q

Why may unrealised profits arise in group accounts?

A

Profits made by members of a group on transactions with other group members are
Recognised in the accounts of the indiv companies
But in terms of the group as a whole, such profits are unrealised
So must be eliminated from consolidated accounts as a consolidation adjustment

27
Q

What adjustments are required when one group company sells to another?

A

Cancel current accounts
Deal with any unrealised profits if goods are still held by a group company at the year end
Write down stock value to cost rather than the amount at which it was sold between P and S

28
Q

What are the steps for adjusting for intra-group trading when P is selling to S??

A

Step 1: Calc how much profit is included in closing stock
Determine the value of closing stock included in an indiv company’s accounts which has been purchased from another company in the group
Use mark-up or gross profit percentage (gross margin) to calc how much of that value represents profit earned by the selling company
Step 2:
If P is selling to S
Remove the profit element
This is included in the parent company’s accounts and relates entirely to the group
DR Group P&L account reserve (W5)
CR Group Stock (on CBS)

29
Q

What are the steps for adjusting for intra-group trading when S is selling to P??

A

Step 1: Calc how much profit is included in closing stock
Determine the value of closing stock included in an indiv company’s accounts which has been purchased from another company in the group
Use mark-up or gross profit percentage (gross margin) to calc how much of that value represents profit earned by the selling company

Step 2:
If S selling to P 
Remove the profit element 
This is included in the subsidiary company’s accounts and relates partly to the group, partly to NCI’s (if there are any)
DR Subsidiary P&L acc reserve (W2)
CR Group stock (on CBS)
30
Q

What is the FV of an asset?

A

The FV of an asset and a liability is defined in FRS 102 to be the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgable, willing parties in an arms length transaction

31
Q

What are the different ‘considerations’ that could be used to buy an asset/

A 
Cash consideration
Deferred cash consideration  (include at PV so discounting of liability is unwound each 
year)
Share consideration
Contingent consideration
32
Q

What is the double entry for a cash consideration?

A

DR Cost of investment (amount included in ‘consideration calc of goodwill)
CR Cash

33
Q

How are deferred cash considerations dealt with?

A

If not all the purchase consideration is paid at the date of the acquisition, some may be deferred until a later date (deferred consideration)
DR Cost of investment
CR Liabilities
Deferred consideration should be included at its Present Value (PV)
Subsequently, the discounting of the liability will be unwound each year
DR Finance Costs
CR Liabilities
Won’t impact goodwill

34
Q

Does the timing of the consideration affect goodwill?

A

This won’t impact the consideration in the goodwill calc, which will remain unchanged

35
Q

What is a share consideration?

A

Instead of paying cash, the parent may issue its own shares in exchange for the shares of the subsidiary
DR Cost of investment (market value at acquisitions ate)
CR Share capital
CR Share premium

36
Q

What is a deferred share consideration?

A

Deferred share consideration
If not all the shares are issued at the acquisition date, some may be issued at a later date
Known as deferred shares
Always take the market value at the date of acquisition to measure the amount of consideration for deferred shares
DR Cost of Investment
CR Shares to be issued

37
Q

What is a contingent consideration?

A

Contingent consideration is an amount which may be payable at a future date in respect of the purchase of an investment, dependent upon certain future events
E.g. An extra amount may be paid for an investment in a subsidiary if it achieves a certain level of sales growth over 5 years

38
Q

When should contingent considerations be included in past of cost of investment?

A

included as part of the cost of investment assuming
Payment is probable
It ca be reliably measured
Measured at FV at the date of acquisition

39
Q

What is the acc treatment for contingent cash?

A

DR Cost of investment

CR Provision

40
Q

What is the acc treatment for contingent shares?

A

DR Cost of investment

CR Shares to be issued

41
Q

How would you calc the contingent consideration?

A

It would be given in the exam

42
Q

What is the treatment per FRS 102 Section 19 for if the potential adjustment isn’t recognised at the acquisition date but subsequently becomes probable and can be measured reliably

A

the additional consideration should be treated as an adj to the cost of the business combination

43
Q

What acquisition costs can be included in the cost of the combination?

A

Prof fees and similar incremental costs incurred directly in making the acquisition

With the exception of arranging finance, where costs are deducted from the liability/share premium account
E.g. loans or share issues

44
Q

Why could changes occur to the FV of contingent considerations?

A

The FV of the contingent consideration at acquisition could be diff to the actual consideration paid

45
Q

How are diffs to FV of contingent considerations treated?

A

Any diffs are normally treated as a change in acc estimate and adjusted prospectively acc with FRS 102 Section 10

The only time a change would be treated retrospectively with a corresponding adj to goodwill would be if the change related to conditions that existed in acquisition date and occurred within 1 year of the date of acquisition

46
Q

When is the only time a change in contingent consideration would be treated retrospectively?

A

The only time a change would be treated retrospectively with a corresponding adj to goodwill would be if the change related to conditions that existed in acquisition date and occurred within 1 year of the date of acquisition

47
Q

How do you recognise the acquisition of liabilitie and assets in an acqusition

A

To process FV adjustment in consolidation question, you must consider the impact both at the acquisition and reporting date in W2

At acquisition put an adjustment into the net asset working (W2) to bring the net assets to FB
This will then affect W3

At the reporting date account for the adjustment on the face of the CBS and in the net assets working (w2)
This will affect the NCI working (W4)

48
Q

How is a difference between NBV in Ss books and FV treated in an acquisition?

A

Any difference between NBV in S’s books and FV is treated as a FV uplift which is shown on the face of the balance sheet and in W2

49
Q

When is depreciation charged in an acquisition?

A

Depr should be charged on all FV adjustments from the point of acquisition

50
Q

With a fair value adjustment, show the W2 calc

A

Calc of subs NA

Along the top
Reporting date
Date at acquisition

Down the side 
Ordinary share capital
P&L acc reserve 
FB adjustments on fixed assets
FV fixed assets depr (cumulative since acquisition) 
Total

note: total post acquisition mvmt of P&L reserve, FV adj on fixed assets and FV fixed assets depr go to W5

51
Q

How should Goodwill in S’s books be treated in consolidated BS?

A

Any goodwill in S’s books (e.g. from the purchase of a sole trader) shouldn’t appear on the consolidated BS as it isn’t identifiable
So must be removed from net assets in (W2)
Must not appear on face of CBS

52
Q

How are intangibles in S dealt with in consolidation?

A

There may be intangibles in S which aren’t recognised on S’s BS as they don’t meet criteria of FRS 102 Section 18
Upon consolidation, the FV of all identifiable assets should be recognised on the CBS and in W2

53
Q

How are contingent liabilities disclosed in S;s books dealt with?

A

In S’s indiv accounts, S may disclose contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities existing at acquisition of S should be included on the face of the CBS and in (W2) at FV
This will be given in the exam

54
Q

Why might an adjustment to provision of fair values of the subsidiaries net assets be required?

A

Ideally the FV of net assets will be ascertained by the first year end after the acquisition
In practice, this might not be possible
E.g. if the acquisition is in the last month of the year

55
Q

Why does FRS 102 allow the use of provisional FRS?

A

Ideally the FV of net assets will be ascertained by the first year end after the acquisition
In practice, this might not be possible
E.g. if the acquisition is in the last month of the year

56
Q

How are adjustments made to provisional fair values?

A

Depends on whether they are made in the measurement period or not

57
Q

How are adjustments made to provisional fair values if they are made in the measurement period?

A

i.e. less than 12 months from acquisition date

An adjustment is made retrospectively and goodwill is recalculated

58
Q

How are adjustments made to provisional fair values if they are made outside the measurement period?

A

i.e. more than 12 months from the acquisition date
They are treated as a change in acc estimate and adjusted for prospectively
An impairment review is performed

59
Q

What is the differences between IFRS and UK GAAP re measurement of NCI?

A

IFRS 3 Business Combinations allow a choice of how to measure NCI
The proportionate (share of NA) method
Fair Value (full goodwill) method
The choice is made on an acquisition by acquisition basis
The choice will affect the goodwill and NCI calc

60
Q

What is the differences between IFRS and UK GAAP re NC in the goodwill calc?

A

UK GAAP calcs NCI at proportionate method = acquisition as NCI% x Was at acc

IFRS allows a choice between proportionate or FV

61
Q

In an exam, how would you calc the FV of the NCI for the FV method of calculating NCI?

A

you will be told the FV of NCI in the exam

Simply insert this number into the NCI line of the goodwill working
