QUESTION 2 – CONSOLIDATION (25 MARKS)

 

On 1 July 2017, Crocodile Ltd acquired all the shares of Dundee Ltd for $445,000 on an ex-div basis. On this date, the equity and liabilities of Dundee Ltd included the following balances:

 

Share Capital                                    $270 000

General Reserve                                   34 000

Retained Earnings                                60 000

Dividend payable                                 14 000

Provisions                                           228 000

 

At acquisition date, all the identifiable assets and liabilities of Dundee Ltd were recorded at amounts equal to fair value except for:

Carrying                          Fair

                                                                            Amount                       Value

Inventory                                           $95 000                  $108 000

Plant & Equipment (cost $405 000)  250 000                    256 000

Truck (cost $24 000)                            20 000                      22 000

Trademark                                          135 000                    149 000

Land                                                     67 000                      95 000

Goodwill                                              34 000                      74 000

 

Goodwill was not impaired in any period. The plant and equipment had a further six year life at acquisition date and was expected to be used evenly over that time. The trademark was considered to have an indefinite life. The truck, which was estimated to have a further five year life at acquisition date, was sold to Amy Ltd on 1 January 2019. Any adjustments for differences between carrying amounts at acquisition date and fair values are made on consolidation.

 

During the year ended 30 June 2018, all inventories on hand at acquisition date were sold to external parties, and the land was sold on 1 June 2019 to ABC Ltd. Any valuation reserves created are transferred on consolidation to retained earnings when assets are sold or fully consumed.

 

Additional information:

 

  • The bonus dividend paid by Dundee Ltd in the current year was from profits before acquisition date. All other dividends were from current year profits. Shareholder approval is not required in relation to dividends.

 

  • On 1 July 2018, Dundee Ltd has on hand inventory worth $16 000, being transferred from Crocodile Ltd in June 2018. The inventory had previously cost Crocodile Ltd $10 000. It was all sold to external parties by 1 August 2018.

 

  • On 31 March 2019, Dundee Ltd transferred an item of plant with a carrying amount of $14 000 to Crocodile Ltd for $20 000. Crocodile Ltd treated this item as inventory. The item was still on hand at the end of the year. Dundee Ltd applied a 20% depreciation rate to this plant.

 

 

  • During the year ending 30 June 2019, Dundee Ltd sold inventory costing $7 000 to Crocodile Ltd for $11 000. Half of this was sold to external parties for $8 000.

 

  • On 1 January 2018, Crocodile Ltd sold furniture to Dundee Ltd for $9 000. This had originally cost Crocodile Ltd $14 000 and had a carrying amount at the time of sale of $6 000. Both entities charge depreciation at a rate of 10% p.a.

 

  • Crocodile Ltd sold some land to Dundee Ltd in December 2018. The land had originally cost Crocodile Ltd $34 000, but was sold to Dundee Ltd for only $27 000. To help Dundee Ltd pay for the land, Crocodile Ltd gave Dundee Ltd an interest-free loan of $16 000. Dundee Ltd has as yet made no repayments on the loan.

 

  • On 1 July 2015, Dundee Ltd issued 900 mortgage debentures of $100 nominal value, and are redeemable on 30 June 2021. Crocodile Ltd acquired 300 of these debentures on the open market on 1 January 2019, immediately after the half-yearly interest payment had been made. Interest is payable half-yearly on 31 December and 30 June. All interest has been paid and brought to account in the records of both entities.

 

  • The tax rate is 30%.
