Question
Lily Limited acquired 100 percent of the shares of Daisy Limited on 1 January 20X7. At the date of acquisition, all assets of Daisy Limited were at fair value, other than an item of plant, which had a fair value 10,000 and the accumulated depreciation is 4,8008,000$6,400
Solution
The carrying amount of the plant in Daisy Limited's own financial statements would be calculated as follows:
- Start with the original cost of the plant, which is $10,000.
- Subtract the accumulated depreciation of 6,000 at the date of acquisition (1 January 20X7).
- Since the plant has a remaining useful life of 5 years, the annual depreciation is 1,200.
- As the financial year ends on 31 December 20X7, one year's worth of depreciation should be subtracted from the carrying amount. So, 1,200 = $4,800.
Therefore, the carrying amount of the plant as at 31 December 20X7 in Daisy Limited’s own financial statements is $4,800.
