Correct Answer

The profit or loss on the sale of shares in a subsidiary will be reported in both the books of the parent legal entity and the consolidated accounts.The method of calculating the profit or loss in the parent's individual legal entity books is to:


A) Revalue the investment in the subsidiary by adjusting that amount for operating profits recognised in the group accounts over the life of the holding of the shares. The adjusted amount is then compared to the consideration received for the shares and the profit or loss calculated as the difference.
B) The investment in the subsidiary may be recognised in the accounts at either cost or fair value. If it is at cost the amount should be revalued by reference to the last quoted price on the stock exchange. A revaluation difference will be taken to an asset revaluation reserve if it is an increase in value, or written off in the income statement if it is a decrease in value. Any remaining difference between the consideration received and the revalued investment is recognised as a profit or loss in the period of the sale.
C) The profit or loss recognised in the income statement is calculated as the difference between the consideration received and the book value of the investment at the time of sale. The book value may have been fair value or it may be at cost.
D) The investment recorded in the books of the parent entity is first adjusted for any amount of purchased goodwill amortised over the period that the shares have been held, by netting the accumulated amortisation against the investment. The adjusted amount is compared to the consideration received for the shares and where the amount received is greater than the adjusted investment a profit is recognised in the income statement. A loss is recognised in the alternative case, where the consideration is less than the adjusted investment.

An immediate parent entity may purchase shares in its subsidiary in separate transactions with long periods of time between transactions.It is possible that one transaction may give rise to goodwill on consolidation and another to an excess.How would the excess on consolidation be calculated and treated in the consolidated accounts?


A) The difference between the fair value of the total consideration paid in all transactions to date should be compared to the proportion of the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary as at the last purchase date. An excess arises where the consideration is less than the share of the fair value of the net assets purchased. The excess should be eliminated pro-rata against the subsidiary's monetary items. Where the excess is greater than the amount of non-monetary items the balance should be eliminated against the non-monetary assets of the subsidiary.
B) The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid for the shares and the fair value of the proportion of net assets acquired in each transaction should be calculated separately. An excess arises where the consideration is less than the share of the fair value of the net assets purchased. The excess should be recognised as revenue.
C) The difference between the value of the total consideration paid in all transactions to date should be compared to the proportion of the book value of the net assets of the subsidiary as at the last purchase date. An excess arises where the consideration is less than the share of the fair value of the net assets purchased. The excess should be amortised over a period of not greater than 10 years.
D) The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid for the shares and the fair value of the proportion of net assets acquired in each transaction should be calculated. While the Standard does not permit goodwill to be recognised on a purchase of further shares after control has been achieved, an excess will be recognised if the consideration is less than the share of the fair value of the net assets purchased. The excess should be eliminated pro-rata against the subsidiary's monetary items. The excess should be amortised over a period of not greater than 10 years.
E) None of the given answers.
