On 1 January 2023, Candy acquired 80% of the ordinary share capital of Cocoa from
a third party and thereby obtained control over Cocoa.
1. The following information relates to the at-acquisition matters:
The purchase consideration was paid in cash by Candy.
At the acquisition date, all the assets and liabilities of Cocoa were considered to
be fairly valued except for the following:
Inventory which was considered to be R25000 higher than its carrying value.
Land which was considered to have a fair value of R615000. The land is
Cocoas only piece of land which they purchased for R600000 on 1 December
2022.
2. The fair value of Cocoas land on 31 December 2022 was still the same as the cost
however on 31 December 2023, it was considered to be R650000. Cocoa
therefore subsequently revalued the land in its own records for the first time on 31
December 2023.
3. Cocoa sold all of its at acquisition inventory to third parties at a profit of R35000
by the end of 31 December 2023.
4. Since the acquisition date, a monthly management fee of R15000 is paid by Cocoa
to Candy. There were no management fees outstanding at the financial year end.
5. From 1 September 2023, Cocoa started to sell inventory to Candy which Candy
then sells to third parties. All inventory sales to Candy are made at cost plus 25%.
R40000 of the closing inventory of R720500 in Candys records was purchased
from Cocoa. Additional information:
Candy accounts for investments in subsidiaries at cost in accordance with IAS
27.10(a) in its separate financial statements.
Both Candy and Cocoa measure their plant and equipment using the cost model
as per IAS 16 in their respective separate financial statements
Cocoa measures their Land using the revaluation model as per IAS 16 in their
separate financial statements.
Candy elected to measure the non-controlling interest in Cocoa at its
proportionate share of Cocoas identifiable net assets at acquisition date.
There have been no changes to the share capital (e.g., number of shares in
issue) of Cocoa since Candys initial investment in Cocoa on 1 January 2023.
For all financial years, the company Income Tax rate is 27% and 80% of Capital
Gains are included in taxable income.
Ignore the effects of Dividend Tax and Value Added Tax (VAT).
REQUIRED:
Prepare the pro forma journal entries required to prepare the consolidated financial
statements of the Candy Ltd group for the year ended 31 December 2023, in
accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards.
Instructions:
Where pro forma journal entries affect the Profit and Loss accounts, be specific as
to which account it is (e.g. Depreciation: Vehicles (Cocoa Ltd)(P/L)). In other
words, do not merely write Profit before tax.
Show and reference all your workings and calculations clearly.
Date and narrations are not required.
Round off to the nearest Rand, where applicable.
