    SECTION A

    Omega Group acquired 80% of the share capital of Sigma Ltd for $4,000,000. At the acquisition date, the fair value of Sigma's identifiable net assets was $3,500,000. Omega chooses to measure the Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) at fair value, which was determined to be $900,000 at the acquisition date.

    What is the amount of goodwill arising on acquisition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations?

    Answer options:

    A.

    $1,200,000

    B.

    $1,400,000

    C.

    $500,000

    D.

    $4,900,000

    How to approach this question

    Use the goodwill formula: Consideration Transferred + NCI at acquisition - Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets.

    Full Answer

    B.$1,400,000✓ Correct
    Under IFRS 3, when NCI is measured at fair value (the full goodwill method), Goodwill = Consideration transferred + Fair value of NCI - Fair value of identifiable net assets. Goodwill = $4,000,000 + $900,000 - $3,500,000 = $1,400,000.

    Common mistakes

    Calculating NCI as 20% of net assets ($700,000) despite the question stating the fair value method is used.
