Question:
Waseem Ltd., an American company, acquired US$200,000 of capital assets on January 1, 2018, when the company was established. These assets were being amortized over 10 years on a straight-line basis, with no significant residual value expected. On January 1, 2019, Holdings Inc., a Canadian company with no capital assets of its own, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Waseem. US$40,000 of the acquisition differential was allocated to the capital assets, which had eight years remaining economic life on the acquisition date. On March 1, 2020, Waseem acquired a further $80,000 of capital assets, which had an estimated useful life of eight years from that date. Exchange rates for the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 were:
January 1, 2018 US $1.00 = CDN $1.05
January 1, 2019 US $1.00 = CDN $1.06
