Question:
On 30 June 2020 Sunny Ltd acquired all assets (except for cash), and assumed the accounts payable of Snowy Ltd. At this date, the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of Snowy Ltd were:
Cash | $40,000 | Accounts payable | $36,000 |
Inventory | 15,000 | Debentures (5%) | 160,000 |
Building | 405,000 | Share capital ($4.00 shares) | 440,000 |
Accumulated depreciation | (180,000) | Retained earnings | 172,000 |
Land | 408,000 | ||
Patent | 120,000 |
The assets and liabilities of Snowy Ltd are at fair value except for: land, which has a fair value of $420,000; and building, which has a fair value of $200,000.
In exchange for these net assets, Sunny Ltd agreed to:
- issue three (3) Sunny Ltd shares for every four (4) shares in Snowy Ltd. On 30 June 2020 Sunny Ltd shares were valued at $4.50
- transfer a block of land. On acquisition date, the land has a fair value of $205,000 (carrying amount in Sunny Ltd accounts $170,000)
- provide sufficient additional cash in order for Snowy Ltd to redeem the debentures at 5% premium and pay liquidation costs of $3,000.
After recording all assets acquired, and any arising out of the combination, management of Sunny Ltd will assess the new business as a cash-generating unit (CGU) for impairment testing purposes. If goodwill arises in business combinations, Sunny Ltd assigns this to the division that has been acquired.
