On July 1, 2019, ABB Company, Inc. purchased 30% of the outstanding ordinary shares of ABC Company
Question:
On July 1, 2019, ABB Company, Inc. purchased 30% of the outstanding ordinary shares of ABC Company for P5,160,000 cash, including transaction cost of P160,000. ABB Company gained ability to exercise influence over ABC Company as a result of this acquisition. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of ABC’s net assets was P12,400,000. ABB Company has determined that the excess of the cost of the investment over its share of ABC’s net assets is attributable to goodwill. ABC’s profit for the year ended December 31, 2019 was P3,600,000. During 2019, ABC Company declared and paid ABB cash dividends of P400,000. There were no other transactions between the two companies. There was no indication of goodwill impairment.
The following are the 2 questions:
1. What is the carrying value of the investment at December 31, 2019?
2. Assuming that the excess of acquisition cost over carrying value of the net assets acquired is attributable to depreciable assets with a remaining life of 10 years, what is the net share of ABB Company on the income reported by ABC Company during 2020?
