Question 1 (15 marks)
Business combination valuation entries, pre-acquisition entries

On 1 July 2016, Merelyn Ltd acquired all the issued shares of Cathy Ltd for $220 800. At this date the
equity of Cathy Ltd consisted of share capital of $100 000 and retained earnings of $58 800. All the
identifiable assets and liabilities of Cathy Ltd were recorded at amounts equal to fair value except for:

                    Carrying amount         Fair value
Patent                    $70 000                $72 000
Plant (net of $40 000 depreciation)    40 000                60 000
Inventory                21 600                28 000

   The patent was considered to have an indefinite life. It was calculated that the plant had a
further life of 10 years, and was depreciated on a straight-line basis. All the inventory was sold
by 30 June 2017. In June 2017, Cathy Ltd conducted an impairment test on the patent, as it was
considered to have an indefinite life, and the goodwill. As a result, the goodwill was considered
to be impaired by $1300.
   In May 2017, Cathy Ltd transferred $30 000 from the retained earnings on hand at 1 July 2016
to a general reserve. The tax rate is 30%.
