incurred transaction costs of ₱250,000 for legal, accounting and consultancy fees in negotiating
the business combination. ABC Co. elected to measure NCI at the NCI’s proportionate share in

a. A charge in the income statement in the post-acquisition period.
b. To include the provision in the allocated cost of acquisition.
c. To provide for the amount and, if the provision is overstated, to release the excess to the
income statement in the post-acquisition period.

purchase price. Recognition of such contingent liabilities will
a. Decrease the value attributed to goodwill, thus decreasing the risk of impairment of
goodwill.

% = Percentage of ownership acquired by the parent in the subsidiary
a. A+B+C-D
b. A – (D x %)
c. (A+C) – (D x %)

b. S.
c. A.
d. A or S.
Use the following information for the next four questions:

1,000,000].

acquired and liabilities assumed have fair values of ₱6,400,000 and ₱3,600,000, respectively.
33. INNOCUOUS engaged an independent valuer to appraise a building acquired from
HARMLESS. However, the valuation report was not received by the time INNOCUOUS
authorized for issue its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20x1. As such, the
building was assigned a provisional amount of ₱2,800,000. Also, the building was tentatively
assigned an estimated useful life of 10 years from acquisition date. INNOCUOUS uses the
straight line method of depreciation and recognized three months’ depreciation on the building
for 20x1.
On July 1, 20x2, INNOCUOUS finally received the valuation report from the independent valuer
which shows that the fair value of the building as of September 30, 20x1 is ₱2,000,000 and remaining
useful from that date is 5 years.
How should INNOCUOUS account for the new information obtained?
a. As a retrospective adjustment to the provisional amount of the building resulting to increase
in goodwill by ₱800,000.
b. As a retrospective adjustment to the provisional amount of the building resulting to decrease
in goodwill by ₱800,000.
c. As a retrospective restatement to the provisional amount of the building resulting to increase
in goodwill by ₱800,000. The adjustment is treated as a correction of a prior period error.
d. The new information obtained is ignored. No adjustment to goodwill is necessary.
34. On July 1, 20x2, INNOCUOUS obtained new information that HARMLESS has an unrecorded
patent which was not identified on September 30, 20x1. It was believed that the unrecorded
patent had a fair value of ₱400,000 and a remaining useful life of 4 years as of September 30,
20x1.
How should INNOCUOUS account for the new information obtained?
a. As a retrospective adjustment to record the previously unrecorded patent resulting to
increase in goodwill by ₱400,000.
P a g e | 10
b. As a retrospective adjustment to record the previously unrecorded patent resulting to
decrease in goodwill by ₱400,000.
c. As a retrospective restatement to record the previously unrecorded patent resulting to
decrease in goodwill by ₱400,000. The adjustment is treated as a correction of a prior period
error.
d. The new information obtained is ignored. No adjustment to goodwill is necessary.
35. On November 1, 20x2, the internal auditors of INNOCUOUS discovered an error on the
recorded identifiable assets acquired from HARMLESS on the business combination. A patent

omitted from the valuation listing.
How should INNOCUOUS account for the new information obtained?
a. As a retrospective adjustment to record the previously unrecorded patent resulting to
increase in goodwill by ₱400,000.
b. As a retrospective adjustment to record the previously unrecorded patent resulting to
decrease in goodwill by ₱400,000.
c. As a retrospective restatement to record the previously unrecorded patent resulting to
decrease in goodwill by ₱400,000. The adjustment is treated as a correction of a prior period
error.

On this date, RIBALD’s shares were assigned a provisional value of ₱400 per share. Also, because
some identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed have fair values that were not readily
available, a provisional amount of ₱2,800,000 was assigned to OFFENSIVE’s net identifiable assets.
On April 1, 20x2, after RIBALD’s 20x1 financial statements were issued, new information was
obtained confirming that the fair value of RIBALD’s shares on September 30, 20x1 is ₱440 per share
and that the fair value of OFFENSIVE’s net identifiable assets as of September 30, 20x1 is ₱3,600,000.
On July 1, 20x2, two competitors of RIBALD have also merged which led to RIBALD believing that
the merger with OFFENSIVE is not as profitable as expected. RIBALD now wants to decrease the
amount assigned to the consideration transferred to OFFENSIVE on September 30, 20x1 to ₱360 per
share and the value of OFFENSIVE’s net identifiable assets to ₱1,600,000.
How should RIBALD account for the new information obtained on July 1, 20x2?
a. As a retrospective adjustment resulting to increase in goodwill by ₱400,000.
b. As a retrospective adjustment resulting to decrease in goodwill by ₱400,000.
c. As a retrospective restatement resulting to decrease in goodwill by ₱400,000. The adjustment
is treated as a correction of a prior period error.
d. The new information obtained is ignored. No adjustment to goodwill is necessary.
37. When consolidating the financial statements of a parent and its subsidiary, which of the
following is eliminated?
P a g e | 11
a. Goodwill
b. NCI in net assets
c. Investment in subsidiary
d. All of these
38. A British parent entity uses the revaluation model to measure its property, but a Philippine
subsidiary uses the cost model. The Philippine subsidiary’s directors find the revaluation model
too costly to implement. In the consolidated financial statements, is the group allowed to
measure the Philippine subsidiary’s property under the cost model?
a. Yes, the British parent’s property shall be adjusted to conform to the subsidiary’s accounting
policy of cost model.
b. No, the Philippine subsidiary’s property shall be adjusted to conform to the group’s
accounting policy of revaluation model.
c. Yes, both models will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements, but this fact must
be disclosed in the notes.
d. None of these, the property is eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
