BUSINESS COMBINATION: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
1. The two important elements in the definition of business combination under PFRS 3 are
FALSE "business" and "combination.
2. PFRS 3 requires the use of the purchase method in accounting for business
FALSE combinations.
FALSE 3. The entity that obtains control in a business combination is called the acquiree.
TRUE 4. The acquisition date in a business combination is normally the closing date.
FALSE 5. Non-controlling interests are measured at fair value only.
TRUE 6. If the controlling interest is 80%, the non-controlling interest is 20%.
7. A gain on a bargain purchase (negative goodwill) is recognized as an allocated
FALSE deduction to the net identifiable assets acquired in the year of business combination.
8. An intangible asset that is unrecorded by the acquiree may nevertheless be recognized
TRUE by the acquirer in a business combination.
9. A noncurrent asset acquired in a business combination that is classified as held for sale
FALSE is measured at fair value
10. If the consideration transferred in a business combination is deferred, the consideration
TRUE may be measured at present value.
11. Entity A acquires 100% interest in the voting shares of Entity for P100. Entity B's
identifiable assets and liabilities have fair values of P200 and P120, respectively. The
FALSE goodwill is P80.
Entity A acquires 90% interest in the voting shares of Entity B for P100. Entity B's identifiable assets
and liabilities have fair value P200 and P120, respectively.
12. If the NCI is measured at its proportionate share in the acquiree's net identifiable assets,
TRUE the goodwill would be P28
FALSE 13. If the NCI is measured at a fair value P10, the goodwill would be P18.
Entity A acquires all the identifiable assets and assumes all the liabilities of Entity B for P100. Entity
B's identifiable assets and liabilities have fair values of P200 and P120, respectively.
14. Entity A incurred legal fees of P20 in negotiating the business combination. The
FALSE goodwill is P40.
15. Entity A estimates liquidation costs of P10 in exiting the business activities of Entity B.
FALSE The goodwill is P20.
16. Entity A is renting out a license to Entity B under an operating lease. The terms of the
lease compared with market terms are favorable. The fair value of the differential is P5.
TRUE The goodwill is P25.
17. Entity B has an unrecorded patent with fair value of P30. The gain on bargain purchase
FALSE is P10.
18. Entity B has an unrecognized contingent liability with fair value of P30. The contingent
liability is a present obligation but has an improbable outflow of economic resources.
FALSE The goodwill is P50.
19. Entity B's assets and liabilities have carrying amounts of P150 and P120, respectively.
Fair value adjustments to the acquired assets and liabilities have deferred tax
consequences but do not affect their tax bases. The income tax rate is 30%. The
TRUE goodwill is P53.
20. Entity A agreed to share its trade secret processes with Entity B after the business
FALSE combination. The trade secret processes have a fair value of P25. The goodwill is P20.
STRAIGHT PROBLEM
PROBLEM 1
REQUIRED:
1. Compute for the goodwill (gain on bargain purchase)
2. How much is the goodwill if A Co. opts to measure the non - controlling interest at the NCI's
proportionate share in B Co.'s net identifiable assets?
3. How much is the goodwill if A Co. opts to measure the non - controlling interest at fair value?
(An independent appraiser valued the NCI at P300, 000.)
Deferred Tax Liability= (300,000+100,000) x 30% Deferred Tax Asset= (100,000 x 30%)
Deferred Tax Liability= 120,000 Deferred Tax Asset= 30,000
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
12. Compute for the goodwill.
