Change in contingent consideration

Retrospective adjustment
* Changes that are the result of the acquirer to obtain additional information about facts and
circumstances that existed at the acquisition date
* Occurs within the measurement period (one year from the acquisition date)
No retrospective adjustment
* Changes resulting from events after the acquisition date
* If classified as liability - changed amount is recognized in profit or loss
* If classified as equity - no remeasurement

Example:
On April 2021, the estimate for the contingent consideration was revised to P160,000 and was revised
again on September 2021 to P200,000.

Journal entries:

Goodwill 60,000

Contingent consideration payable 40,000.00

Note:
* If the contingent consideration is to issue additional stocks, no liability is recorded at the acquisition date
* The only entry made is at the date when additional shares are issued

Example:
Using the problem in case 1, aside from the 80,000 shares issued, ABC Inc. agreed to issue 20,000 additional
shares if the average income during the 2-year period of 2019 and 2020 exceeds P160,000 per year.
