Business Combinations (Part 1)
PROBLEM 1: TRUE OR FALSE
1. FALSE – “business” and “control”
2. FALSE – acquisition method
3. FALSE - acquirer
4. TRUE
5. FALSE – fair value or NCI’s proportionate share in the
acquiree’s net identifiable assets
6. TRUE
7. FALSE – recognized in profit or loss after reassessment
8. TRUE
9. FALSE – fair value less costs to sell
10. TRUE

PROBLEM 2: TRUE OR FALSE

1. FALSE - ₱20
2. TRUE {100 + [(200 – 120) x 10%]} – (200 – 120) = 28
3. FALSE (100 + 10) – (200 – 120) = 30
4. FALSE 100 – (200 -120) = 20
5. TRUE 100 – (200 -120) = 20 (the liquidation costs are ignored
because these are post-combination expenses)
6. FALSE 100 – (200 + 5 intangible asset -120) = 15
7. TRUE 100 – (200 + 30 -120) = (10)
8. TRUE 100 – (200 -120 – 30 contingent liability) = 50
9. FALSE 100 – (200 -120 – 15 DTL*) = 35

*(200 CA for financial reporting – 150 tax base) = 50 TTD;

50 x 30% = 15 DTL

10. TRUE 100 – (200 -120) = 20 The trade secret processes are not
‘consideration transferred’ to Entity B’s former owners.
