Question
Certain intangible assets, which are not shown in the subsidiary's own statement of financial position, may be recognised independently from goodwill when a parent is assessing the assets of a possible subsidiary. Which of the following is an illustration of a subsidiary's intangible asset that can be recorded separately from goodwill for the purpose of creating consolidated financial statements? a.a global marketing effort that ended in the previous fiscal year and is anticipated to yield benefits in the future b.A subsidiary's contingent asset from which the parent anticipates a stream of future financial benefitsc.A client list that the directors cannot accurately valued.A recently launched research project that the parent company's board have consistently determined has a significant fair worth but which the subsidiary has accurately expensed to profit or loss
Solution
The correct answer is b. A subsidiary's contingent asset from which the parent anticipates a stream of future financial benefits. This is because contingent assets are considered identifiable and can be measured reliably, thus they can be recognized separately from goodwill in the consolidated financial statements. The other options either cannot be measured reliably or are not considered identifiable, hence they cannot be recognized separately from goodwill.
