15. On January 1, 20x1, CHIDE Co. acquired 90% of the identifiable
assets and assumed all of the liabilities of SCOLD, Inc. by paying
cash of 4,000,000. On this date, SCOLDs identifiable assets and
liabilities have fair values of 6,400,000 and 3,600,000,
respectively. Non-controlling interest has a fair value of 320,000.
As of January 1, 20x1, SCOLD had the following which were not
included in the acquisition-date fair value measurement of liabilities:
SCOLD has an existing contract with a customer to deliver
products at a specified future date. In accordance with the
agreement, SCOLD shall pay a penalty for failure to deliver the
said goods. CHIDE determined that the fair value of the penalty is
40,000. However, because CHIDE expects to comply with the
agreement, it was assessed that payment of penalty is
improbable.
SCOLD has guaranteed a bank loan of a third party. CHIDE shall
replace SCOLD as the guarantor. If the third party defaults on the
loan, CHIDE will be held liable for the guarantee. CHIDE
determined that the fair value of the guarantee is 120,000.
However, both SCOLD and CHIDE believe that the third party will
not default on its loan from the bank.
There is a pending unresolved litigation filed by a third party
against SCOLD. CHIDE determined that the fair value of settling
the litigation is 200,000. However, because the legal counsels of
both CHIDE and SCOLD strongly believe that they will win the
case, it was assessed that payment for the settlement of the
litigation is improbable.

Provisional amounts identifiable assets acquired


Use the following information for the next three questions:
Fact pattern
On September 30, 20x1, INNOCUOUS Co. acquired all of the
identifiable assets and assumed all of the liabilities of HARMLESS,
Inc. by paying cash of 4,000,000. On this date, the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed have fair values of
6,400,000 and 3,600,000, respectively.
Case #1: Identifiable asset recognized at provisional amount
14. INNOCUOUS engaged an independent valuer to appraise a
building acquired from HARMLESS. However, the valuation report
was not received by the time INNOCUOUS authorized for issue its
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20x1. As
such, the building was assigned a provisional amount of
2,800,000. Also, the building was tentatively assigned an
estimated useful life of 10 years from acquisition date.
INNOCUOUS uses the straight line method of depreciation and
recognized three months depreciation on the building for 20x1.
On July 1, 20x2, INNOCUOUS finally received the valuation report
from the independent valuer which shows that the fair value of the
building as of September 30, 20x1 is 2,000,000 and remaining
useful from that date is 5 years.
How should INNOCUOUS account for the new information obtained?
a. As a retrospective adjustment to the provisional amount of the
building resulting to increase in goodwill by 800,000.
b. As a retrospective adjustment to the provisional amount of the
building resulting to decrease in goodwill by 800,000.
c. As a retrospective restatement to the provisional amount of
the building resulting to increase in goodwill by 800,000. The
adjustment is treated as a correction of a prior period error.
d. The new information obtained is ignored. No adjustment to
goodwill is necessary.
Case #2: Unrecorded identifiable asset acquired
15. On July 1, 20x2, INNOCUOUS obtained new information that
HARMLESS has an unrecorded patent which was not identified on
September 30, 20x1. It was believed that the unrecorded patent
had a fair value of 400,000 and a remaining useful life of 4 years
as of September 30, 20x1.
How should INNOCUOUS account for the new information obtained?
a. As a retrospective adjustment to record the previously
unrecorded patent resulting to increase in goodwill by
400,000.
b. As a retrospective adjustment to record the previously
unrecorded patent resulting to decrease in goodwill by
400,000.
c. As a retrospective restatement to record the previously
unrecorded patent resulting to decrease in goodwill by
400,000. The adjustment is treated as a correction of a prior
period error.

12

d. The new information obtained is ignored. No adjustment to


goodwill is necessary.
Case #3: Information obtained beyond measurement period
16. On November 1, 20x2, the internal auditors of INNOCUOUS
discovered an error on the recorded identifiable assets acquired
from HARMLESS on the business combination. A patent with a fair
value of 400,000 and a remaining useful life of 4 years as of
September 30, 20x1 was omitted from the valuation listing.
How should INNOCUOUS account for the new information obtained?
a. As a retrospective adjustment to record the previously
unrecorded patent resulting to increase in goodwill by
400,000.
b. As a retrospective adjustment to record the previously
unrecorded patent resulting to decrease in goodwill by
400,000.
c. As a retrospective restatement to record the previously
unrecorded patent resulting to decrease in goodwill by
400,000. The adjustment is treated as a correction of a prior
period error.
d. The new information obtained is ignored. No adjustment to
goodwill is necessary.

Provisional amounts consideration transferred


17. On September 30, 20x1, RIBALD Co. acquired all of the
identifiable assets and assumed all of the liabilities of OFFENSIVE,
Inc. by issuing 10,000 shares with par value of 20 per share.
On this date, RIBALDs shares were assigned a provisional value of
400 per share. Also, because some identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed have fair values that were not readily available, a
provisional amount of 2,800,000 was assigned to OFFENSIVEs net
identifiable assets.
On April 1, 20x2, after RIBALDs 20x1 financial statements were
issued, new information was obtained confirming that the fair value
of RIBALDs shares on September 30, 20x1 is 440 per share and
that the fair value of OFFENSIVEs net identifiable assets as of
September 30, 20x1 is 3,600,000.
On July 1, 20x2, two competitors of RIBALD have also merged which
led to RIBALD believing that the merger with OFFENSIVE is not as
profitable as expected. RIBALD now wants to decrease the amount
assigned to the consideration transferred to OFFENSIVE on
September 30, 20x1 to 360 per share and the value of OFFENSIVEs
net identifiable assets to 1,600,000.
How should RIBALD account for the new information obtained on July
1, 20x2?
a. As a retrospective adjustment resulting to increase in goodwill
by 400,000.
b. As a retrospective adjustment resulting to decrease in goodwill
by 400,000.

13

c. As a retrospective restatement resulting to decrease in


goodwill by 400,000. The adjustment is treated as a
correction of a prior period error.
d. The new information obtained is ignored. No adjustment to
goodwill is necessary.

transaction
18. On January 1, 20x1, DIAPHANOUS Co. acquired all of the
identifiable assets and assumed all of the liabilities of
TRANSPARENT, Inc. by paying cash of 4,000,000. On this date,
the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed have fair
values of 6,400,000 and 3,600,000, respectively.
Additional information:
In addition to the business combination transaction, the following
have also transcribed during the negotiation period:
a. After the business combination, TRANSPARENT will enter into
liquidation and DIAPHANOUS agreed to reimburse TRANSPARENT
for liquidation costs estimated at 80,000.
b. DIAPHANOUS agreed to reimburse TRANSPARENT for the
appraisal fee of a building included in the identifiable assets
acquired. The agreed reimbursement is 40,000.
c. DIAPHANOUS entered into an agreement to retain the top
management of TRANSPARENT for continuing employment. On
acquisition date, DIAPHANOUS agreed to pay the key employees
signing bonuses totaling 400,000.
d. To persuade, Mr. Five-six Numerix, the previous major shareholder
of TRANSPARENT, to sell his major holdings to DIAPHANOUS,
DIAPHANOUS agreed to pay an additional 200,000 directly to Mr.
Numerix.
e. Included in the valuation of identifiable assets are inventories
with fair value of 360,000. Ms. Vital Statistix, a former major
shareholder of TRANSPARENT, shall acquire title to the goods.

19. On January 1, 20x1, THRALL Co. acquired all of the identifiable
assets and assumed all of the liabilities of SLAVE, Inc. by paying
cash of 4,000,000. On this date, SLAVEs identifiable assets and
liabilities have fair values of 6,400,000 and 3,600,000,
respectively.
Prior to business combination, THRALL has sold a license to SLAVE.
The licensing agreement granted SLAVE the right to use THRALLs
patented technology for a period of 5 years. THRALL received
400,000 for the license on grant date and royalty fees based on
SLAVEs sales.
THRALL recognized the license fee as deferred liability and
amortized it over 5 years. The carrying amount of the deferred
liability on January 1, 20x1 is 240,000.

14

On the other hand, SLAVE recognized the license fee paid to THRALL
as prepayment and amortized it based on the number of products
sold. The carrying amount of the prepayment on January 1, 20x1 is
200,000.
On January 1, 20x1, THRALL has determined that the fair value of
the license agreement is 480,000. The fair value determined
consists of 160,000 at-market (based on market participants'
estimates) and 320,000 off-market (based on the excess of fair
value derived from cash flow estimates over at-market values;
480,000 160,000) components. The off-market component is
favorable to SLAVE and unfavorable to THRALL, as royalty rates have
increased considerably in comparable markets since the initiation of
the contract. The contract does not have any cancellation clause or
any minimum royalty payment requirements.

20. MULIEBRITY Co. purchases raw materials from FEMINITY, Inc.
under a five-year supply contract at fixed rates. Currently, the
fixed rates are higher than the rates at which MULIEBRITY could
purchase similar raw materials from another supplier. MULIEBRITY
is allowed under the supply agreement to terminate the contract
before the end of the five-year term, but only by paying a
400,000 penalty.
On January 1, 20x1, with three years remaining under the supply
contract, MULIEBRITY Co. acquired all of the identifiable assets and
assumed all of the liabilities of FEMINITY, Inc. by paying cash of
4,000,000. On this date, FEMINITYs identifiable assets and
liabilities have fair values of 6,400,000 and 3,600,000,
respectively.
Included in the total fair value of FEMINITY is 640,000 related to the
fair value of the supply contract with MULIEBRITY. The 640,000
represents a 280,000 component that is at market because the
pricing is comparable to pricing for current market transactions for
the same or similar items (selling effort, customer relationships and
so on) and a 360,000 component for pricing that is unfavorable to
MULIEBRITY because it exceeds the price of current market
transactions for similar items. There are no other assets or liabilities
related to the contract in either MULIEBRITYs or FEMINITYs books as
of acquisition date.
