 At 1 July 2016, Wallaby Ltd owned but had not recorded an internally generated brand name. This brand name was considered by Rock Ltd to have a fair value of $29 000 and an indefinite useful life. An impairment test conducted with respect to the brand name on 30 June 2019 concluded that its recoverable amount at that date was $2000 less than its carrying amount.

 The vehicles and machinery were expected to have a further useful life of 6 and 8 years respectively, with benefits to be received evenly over those periods. Inventory on hand at 1 July 2016 was all sold by 31 January 2017. The land owned at 1 July 2016 was sold in September 2017 for $150 000. The machinery on hand at 1 July 2016 was sold on 1 January 2019 for $38 000.

 Adjustments for the differences between carrying amounts and fair values of assets and liabilities on hand at acquisition date are recognised on consolidation. When assets are sold or derecognised, any related valuation reserves are transferred to retained earnings.

 In June 2018, Wallaby Ltd paid a share dividend worth $20 000 from the general reserve on hand at 1 July 2016.
