Q1. (May 18)
On 1 April 20X1, Alpha Ltd. acquired 80 percent of the equity interest of Beta Pvt. Ltd. in exchange for cash
of Rs 300. Due to legal compulsion, Beta Pvt. Ltd. had to dispose of their investments by a specified date.
Therefore, they did not have sufficient time to market Beta Pvt. Ltd. to multiple potential buyers. The
management of Alpha Ltd. initially measures the separately recognizable identifiable assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date in accordance with the requirement of Ind AS 103. The
identifiable assets are measured at Rs 500 and the liabilities assumed are measured at Rs 100. Alpha Ltd.
engaged an independent consultant, who determined that the fair value of 20 per cent non-controlling interest
in Beta Pvt. Ltd. is Rs 84.
Alpha Ltd. reviewed the procedures it used to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
and to measure the fair value of both the non-controlling interest in Beta Pvt. Ltd. and the consideration
transferred. After the review, it decided that the procedures and resulting measures were appropriate.
Calculate the gain or loss on acquisition of Beta Pvt. Ltd. and also show the journal entries for accounting of
its acquisition. Also calculate the value of the non-controlling interest in Beta Pvt. Ltd. on the basis of
proportionate interest method, if alternatively applied?
SOLUTION:
(i) Under Fair Value Method:
Value of Net identified assets = Rs. 500 - Rs. 100 = Rs. 400
Amount of consideration transferred = Rs. 300
Fair Value of 20% NCI holding = Rs. 84
Hence, there will be a gain on bargain purchase because the net identified assets that the company will
receive is more than the consideration paid in exchange (including the NCI value).
Therefore, Gain on bargain purchase = 400 - 300 - 84 = Rs. 16
