Scenario: On 1 January 20X5, Zenith Heavy Industries acquired 80% of the equity share capital of Apex Robotics for $2,500,000. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of Apex's net assets was $2,000,000. Zenith measures the Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) at fair value, which was $550,000 at the acquisition date. During the year ended 31 December 20X5, Zenith sold goods to Apex for $400,000 at a mark-up of 25%. Half of these goods remain in Apex's inventory at year-end. At 31 December 20X5, Zenith's retained earnings are $5,000,000. Apex's retained earnings were $1,000,000 at acquisition and $1,500,000 at year-end.
