This question is part of a case study — click to read the full scenario(Case 36)

SCENARIO: On 1 January 20X5, Horizon Renewables (a public utility) acquired 80% of the equity share capital of WindTech Innovations (a tech startup) for $5,000,000. Non-controlling interest (NCI) is measured at fair value, which was $1,100,000 at acquisition. WindTech's net assets at acquisition were $4,500,000 (which included a fair value uplift on patents of $500,000). During the year, Horizon sold turbines to WindTech for $800,000 at a 25% mark-up on cost. Half of these remain in inventory at year-end (31 Dec 20X5). Horizon's receivables include $150,000 due from WindTech, but WindTech's payables show $100,000 due to Horizon (the difference is cash in transit). WindTech's profit for the year was $600,000 (assume no extra depreciation on the patent).

Calculate the Goodwill arising on acquisition. (Enter the number only)

SCENARIO: On 1 January 20X5, Horizon Renewables acquired 80% of WindTech Innovations for $5,000,000. NCI fair value was $1,100,000. WindTech's net assets at acquisition were $4,500,000 (including a fair value uplift on patents of $500,000). During the year, Horizon sold turbines to WindTech for $800,000 at a 25% mark-up on cost. Half remain in inventory at year-end. Horizon's receivables include $150,000 due from WindTech; WindTech's payables show $100,000 due to Horizon. WindTech's profit for the year was $600,000.

If Horizon's individual inventory is $2,000,000 and WindTech's individual inventory is $1,000,000, what is the consolidated inventory figure? (Enter the number only)

How to approach this question

Add the two inventory figures together and subtract the PUP.

Full Answer

Consolidated Inventory = Horizon's inventory ($2,000,000) + WindTech's inventory ($1,000,000) - PUP ($80,000) = $2,920,000.

Common mistakes

Forgetting to deduct the PUP, or deducting the full value of the intra-group sale ($800,000) instead of just the profit on the unsold portion.
