Solution

To calculate the amount of goodwill, we first need to determine the fair market value of the company's net assets.

Step 1: Calculate the fair market value of the assets The fair market value of the assets is the sum of the fair market values of the Accounts Receivable, Building, and Machinery.

Accounts Receivable: ₱450,000 Building: ₱5,800,000 Machinery: ₱550,000

Total Fair Market Value of Assets = ₱450,000 + ₱5,800,000 + ₱550,000 = ₱6,800,000

Step 2: Subtract the liabilities The company has Bonds payable of ₱200,000. We subtract this from the total fair market value of the assets.

Net Assets = Total Fair Market Value of Assets - Bonds payable Net Assets = ₱6,800,000 - ₱200,000 = ₱6,600,000

Step 3: Calculate Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets.

Goodwill = Purchase Price - Fair Market Value of Net Assets Goodwill = ₱7,000,000 - ₱6,600,000 = ₱400,000

Therefore, the amount of goodwill is ₱400,000.

Example 1The following information is given as at 31 March 20X1P Ltd.

Let us understand why goodwill / capital reserve arises in case ofconsolidation, and what would be the interpretation of the same.© The Institute of Chartered Accountants of IndiaADVANCED ACCOUNTING10.22In the given case, P Ltd. acquired all the shares of S Ltd. by paying` 1,000. Thispayment (i.e., purchase consideration) would be made by P Ltd. to theshareholder(s) of S Ltd. (hence the transfer of this amount would not appear in thebooks of S Ltd.).By paying` 1,000, P Ltd. has acquired ‘control’ over S Ltd. This acqu isition is quitedifferent from the concept of amalgamation done in accordance with AS 14, thoughthe concept of goodwill / capital reserve is similar. Under AS 14, the targetcompany would generally liquidate, and all assets and liabilities would betransferred from the Selling Company to the Purchasing Company. In case ofconsolidation, P Ltd. is acquiring ‘control’ i.e., by way of acquiring equity shares in SLtd.. Thus, S Ltd. continues to exist, and the assets and liabilities of S Ltd. are nottransferred to P Ltd., but instead continue to remain with S Ltd. only. However, sincein substance, acquisition has taken place (albeit through transfer of control), thepurchase consideration of` 1,000 will be compared with the net worth ofS Ltd., which is` 1,000. Since amount paid (i.e., purchase consideration) equals thenet worth, no goodwill / capital reserve is recognized. In case the amount paid (i.e.,purchase consideration) would be higher / lower than the net worth of S Ltd., suchdifference would be recognized in Goodwill / Capital Reserve respectively.
