Explanation / Answer

Answer:-

a. Aquisition Analysis-

Purchase Consideration = $ 1,000,000

Fair Value of Total Assets and Liablities = $ (650000+20000+250000)

= $ 920,000

Assuming that the Patience Ltd recorded Contingent Liability at its Fair value of $v 40,000.

Value of the Assets and Liabilities Taken over by Patience Ltd = (920000-50000-40000)

= $ 830,000

The Amount paid towards Goodwill = 1,000,000 - 830,000

= $ 170,000

b.

Consolidation Worksheets Entries:-

1. Purchase Consideration A/c - Dr $1,000,000
