FR – Nov 2017 – L2 – Q1a – Group Financial Statements and Consolidation

This question tests candidates on the calculation of goodwill for an acquisition and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Spacefon Ltd (Spacefon), in its quest to gain dominance in the telecommunication industry, bought an 80% holding in the equity of Buzz and 40% of the equity shares of Kasapa Ltd (Kasapa) on 1 July 2017. The purchase price of the investment of Buzz Ltd (Buzz) was agreed at GH¢4,400 million, of which GH¢1,600 million was paid in cash. The remaining balance was paid by issuing 800 million equity shares each of GH¢1 nominal value to the seller at their then fair value of GH¢3.50 each. The 20% non-controlling interest in Buzz had a fair value of GH¢900 million at that date. Buzz’s net assets had a fair value of GH¢4,700 million on 1 July 2017. Spacefon applies the fair value method to calculate goodwill on acquisition.

The following statements of comprehensive income relate to Spacefon and its investee companies, Buzz and Kasapa.

Statements of Profit or Loss for the year ended 31 October 2017 Spacefon Ltd (GH¢ million) Buzz Ltd (GH¢ million) Kasapa Ltd (GH¢ million)
Revenue 4,428 2,448 1,530
Cost of Sales (1,674) (864) (680.4)
Gross Profit 2,754 1,584 849.6
Operating expenses (1,116) (828) (522)
Finance costs (180) (108) (54)
Other income 32.4
Investment income 129.6
Profit before taxation 1,620 648 273.6
Taxation (270) (108) (54)
Profit for the year 1,350 540 219.6
Other comprehensive income
Gains on revaluations of property 226.8 72 64.8
Total comprehensive income for the year 1576.8 612 284.4

Additional Information:

  1. Included in the fair value of Buzz’s net assets on the acquisition date was some machinery owned by Buzz but carried at GH¢90 million below its fair value. The revised fair value was not incorporated into the books of Buzz, as Buzz has not adopted a policy of revaluing machinery assets. The useful economic life of this machinery at the acquisition date was estimated to be six years.
  2. During the post-acquisition period, Buzz sold goods to Spacefon for GH¢50 million. These goods were sold by Buzz at a profit of 30 pesewas per GH¢1 on the sales price, and 40% of the goods remained in the inventory of Spacefon at 31 October 2017.
  3. Since acquiring its investment in Buzz, Spacefon has managed the administration of the entire group. Spacefon invoiced Buzz GH¢4 million for its share of these costs. Spacefon recorded this transaction within “other income,” and Buzz recorded it within “operating expenses.”
  4. The goodwill of Buzz was reviewed for impairment at 31 October 2017 and was found to have a recoverable amount of GH¢400 million. There was no impairment of the investment in Kasapa.
  5. On 1 October 2017, Spacefon sold some land to Kasapa for GH¢12 million, recording a profit of GH¢8 million. This profit is included within “other income” in the books of Spacefon.

(Note: All calculations may be taken to the nearest GH¢0.01 million, and assume all expenses and gains accrue evenly throughout the year unless otherwise instructed.)

Required: a) Calculate the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Buzz by Spacefon, and the goodwill amount that should appear in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Spacefon as at 31 October 2017. (3 marks)

b) Prepare a Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss account for Spacefon Group for the year ended 31 October 2017 in accordance with IFRS. (17 marks)

(iii) All the four products W, X, Y and Z are produced simultaneously at a single split-off point.
(iv) Product Y is sold immediately without further processing.
(v) The other three products are subjected to further processing before being sold.
(vi) It is the company‟s policy to apportion the cost prior to split-off point on a suitable
sales value basis.
(vii) The output, sales and the additional processing costs for the past year were as
follows:

Product Output (units) Sales (N) Additional Processing Costs (N)
W 400,000 3,840,000 800,000
X 89,230 1,160,000 640,000
Y 5,000 160,000
Z 9,000 1,200,000 40,000

The proposal being considered by the management is to sell the products to other
processors immediately after the split-off point without any of the present additional
processing. The additional processing costs of products W,X and Z would either no
longer be incurred or be charged to an alternative profitable use. The prices per unit to
be obtained from the other processors would be: W: N6.40, X: N8, Y: N32, and Z: N100.

You are required to prepare a statement of:
a. i. The profit or loss on each of the four products. (10 Marks)
ii. The change in the profit or loss given in your solution to
(i) above, if the proposals being considered were adopted. (8 Marks)
b. Identify TWO long-run pricing decision approaches that are relevant
to a price setting firm. (2 Marks)

FR – Nov 2017 – L2 – Q1a – Group Financial Statements and Consolidation

This question tests candidates on the calculation of goodwill for an acquisition and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Spacefon Ltd (Spacefon), in its quest to gain dominance in the telecommunication industry, bought an 80% holding in the equity of Buzz and 40% of the equity shares of Kasapa Ltd (Kasapa) on 1 July 2017. The purchase price of the investment of Buzz Ltd (Buzz) was agreed at GH¢4,400 million, of which GH¢1,600 million was paid in cash. The remaining balance was paid by issuing 800 million equity shares each of GH¢1 nominal value to the seller at their then fair value of GH¢3.50 each. The 20% non-controlling interest in Buzz had a fair value of GH¢900 million at that date. Buzz’s net assets had a fair value of GH¢4,700 million on 1 July 2017. Spacefon applies the fair value method to calculate goodwill on acquisition.

The following statements of comprehensive income relate to Spacefon and its investee companies, Buzz and Kasapa.

Statements of Profit or Loss for the year ended 31 October 2017 Spacefon Ltd (GH¢ million) Buzz Ltd (GH¢ million) Kasapa Ltd (GH¢ million)
Revenue 4,428 2,448 1,530
Cost of Sales (1,674) (864) (680.4)
Gross Profit 2,754 1,584 849.6
Operating expenses (1,116) (828) (522)
Finance costs (180) (108) (54)
Other income 32.4
Investment income 129.6
Profit before taxation 1,620 648 273.6
Taxation (270) (108) (54)
Profit for the year 1,350 540 219.6
Other comprehensive income
Gains on revaluations of property 226.8 72 64.8
Total comprehensive income for the year 1576.8 612 284.4

Additional Information:

  1. Included in the fair value of Buzz’s net assets on the acquisition date was some machinery owned by Buzz but carried at GH¢90 million below its fair value. The revised fair value was not incorporated into the books of Buzz, as Buzz has not adopted a policy of revaluing machinery assets. The useful economic life of this machinery at the acquisition date was estimated to be six years.
  2. During the post-acquisition period, Buzz sold goods to Spacefon for GH¢50 million. These goods were sold by Buzz at a profit of 30 pesewas per GH¢1 on the sales price, and 40% of the goods remained in the inventory of Spacefon at 31 October 2017.
  3. Since acquiring its investment in Buzz, Spacefon has managed the administration of the entire group. Spacefon invoiced Buzz GH¢4 million for its share of these costs. Spacefon recorded this transaction within “other income,” and Buzz recorded it within “operating expenses.”
  4. The goodwill of Buzz was reviewed for impairment at 31 October 2017 and was found to have a recoverable amount of GH¢400 million. There was no impairment of the investment in Kasapa.
  5. On 1 October 2017, Spacefon sold some land to Kasapa for GH¢12 million, recording a profit of GH¢8 million. This profit is included within “other income” in the books of Spacefon.

(Note: All calculations may be taken to the nearest GH¢0.01 million, and assume all expenses and gains accrue evenly throughout the year unless otherwise instructed.)

Required: a) Calculate the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Buzz by Spacefon, and the goodwill amount that should appear in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Spacefon as at 31 October 2017. (3 marks)

b) Prepare a Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss account for Spacefon Group for the year ended 31 October 2017 in accordance with IFRS. (17 marks)
