ExpertACCA · Question 47 · Preparing simple consolidated financial statements
Scenario: TechNova PLC acquired 80% of CyberNetix Ltd on 1 Jan 20X5 for $500,000 cash. At acquisition, CyberNetix's retained earnings were $200,000 and share capital was $100,000. NCI fair value at acquisition was $120,000. During 20X5, TechNova sold goods to CyberNetix for $80,000 (25% mark-up on cost). Half remained in inventory at year-end (31 Dec 20X5). CyberNetix's 20X5 profit was $150,000.
At year-end, CyberNetix still owes TechNova $20,000 for the goods purchased. How is this treated in the consolidated statement of financial position?
