14.2 D
The scenario described a control to control step-acquisition. The transaction is
treated as if the parent has paid cash to reduce the non-controlling interest. Any
difference between cash would be taken to equity as a transfer between
shareholders. The following double entry is posted:
Dr NCI 700,000 ($1,400,000 × 15/30)
Cr Cash $610,000
Cr Equity $90,000
The entry to equity is a credit and not debit, therefore D is incorrect.
The shareholding of 70% is increased to 85% on the 1st March 20X6. Ho is a
subsidiary for the entire period of the year ended 31st December 20X6. NCI’s
share of profits must be pro-rated in the statement of profit or loss to reflect
percentages before and after the acquisition. The NCI% is 30% before the step-
acquisition and 15% after.
The remaining options regarding the statement of financial position and goodwill
are correct.
