Parent Ltd owns 80% of the issued capital of Subs Ltd, which was acquired on 1 July 20X0. The acquisition was paid for by issuing 300,000 Parent Ltd shares and $1,000,000 in cash to be paid on 30 June 20X2 to the Subs Ltd shareholders that agreed to sell their shares.
The $1,000,000 cash payment was contingent on Subs generating an average profit after tax of $100,000 per year over the 2 year period. At the date of acquisition, it was probable that the earnings target would be met during the two year period. In fact, Subs earned an average profit of $140,000 during that 2 year period and the $1,000,000 was paid on 30 June 20X2. Parent's incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 20X0 was 7%.
On the date of announcing the intended takeover, the shares were trading at $8.50 per share. On 1 July 20X0, the shares were trading at $8.00 per share. The shares were issued to Subs Ltd shareholders on 7 July 20X0 when the shares were trading for $7.80 per share.
The costs associated with the acquisition are as follows:
Share issue costs $100,000
Independent valuer's fees 30,000
Solicitor's fees 50,000
Allocation of managing director's salary for time spent on the takeover 60,000
At the date of acquisition, the shareholders' equity of Subs Ltd comprised:
Contributed equity $1,300,000
Retained earnings 400,000
On that date, three parcels of land (parcels A, B and C) and a building were undervalued on Subs' books as Subs accounted for these assets using the cost model. At 1 July 20X0, the building was undervalued by $160,000 and had 10 years of remaining useful life at that date. Each parcel of land was considered to be a separate class of assets. Details and subsequent events and transactions associated with each parcel of land are:
Parcel A was undervalued at 1 July 20X0 by $100,000. Parcel A is still carried at cost by Subs and has not been sold at 30 June 20X5. Parent estimates that at 30 June 20X5, land parcel A has a fair value in excess of its cost of $480,000.
Parcel B was undervalued at 1 July 20X0 by $80,000 and was sold in December 20X3 for a gain before tax of $190,000.
Parcel C was undervalued at 1 July 20X0 by $150,000. During the year ending 30 June 20X2, Subs adopted the revaluation model for land Parcel C and revalued the land upwards by $250,000 at that date. A further revaluation increment of $90,000 was recorded for land parcel C at 30 June 20X5.
Subs Ltd had unrecognised trademarks with an estimated fair value of $140,000 at 1 July 20X0. The trademarks have an indefinite useful life. In addition, Subs Ltd estimated the value of its workforce at $200,000 at that date.
At July 20X0, Subs was in litigation with one of its customers regarding the supply of allegedly defective goods. The claim was for $200,000, however, Subs' solicitors estimated the chance of losing the lawsuit at 10%. An external party advised Subs that it would assume the liability for a fee of $40,000. At 30 June 20X5, the litigation with the customer was still ongoing and Subs' solicitors estimated the chance of losing the lawsuit at 20%.
For the financial year ending 30 June 20X3, goodwill was written down by $75,000 in the consolidated financial statements because it was impaired. An impairment test of goodwill at 30 June 20X5 indicated that goodwill was impaired by a further $50,000.
