94. c**/d* - Please read the discussion below
Note: The following discussion regarding the treatment of direct acquisition-related costs in the books of parent entity, does not affect the
computation of goodwill wherein under PFRS 3, acquisition-related costs direct or indirect are considered as expensed.
The following discussions focus on the books of parent entity regarding direct acquisition-related costs.
Currently, the Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) of IASB is discussing the topic of Contingent Pricing of Property, Plant and Equipment and
Intangible Assets. The scope of those deliberations does not include the cost of investment in associate, joint venture or subsidiary but it is
possible that the scope of the project might be expanded in future. (IGAAP 2013 under IFRS by Ernst and Young, page 530,)
This raises the question of the treatment of the transaction costs as, under PFRS 3 these costs are usually recognized as expenses in the
consolidated accounts.
Revised PAS 27 does not define what is meant by “cost”, but in the glossary to PFRS provides an over-riding definition of “cost” as “the
amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or
construction”
As a general rule under PFRS, “cost” includes the purchase price and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the
asset such as professional fees for legal services, transfer taxes and other transaction costs”
* Answer d – P1,600,000 (P1,500,000 + P100,000) – Position of Ernst and Young (EY). Given that Revised PAS 27 does not separately
define “cost”, it is appropriate to apply the general meaning of “cost” to separate financial statements. Therefore, in the opinion of EY, the
cost of investment in subsidiary in the separate financial statements includes any costs incurred even if such costs are expensed in the
consolidated financial statements.
The view of EY, maybe based on the assumption that under the revised PAS 27 since it applies only to “Separate Financial Statements” not
consolidated statements; therefore PFRS 3 which is a standard for business combination/consolidation will not be the basis for the
definition of “cost”). Unlike before the revision of PAS 27 and implementation of PFRS 10, the basis of the old PAS 27, which is
“Consolidated and Separate Statements”, is PFRS 3, wherein the definition of “cost” was clearly defined. That is why the general rule in the
definition of “cost” was applied. This view is also as suggest by the IASB since they introduced the requirement to expense acquisition
costs within PFRS 3, it only applies to financial statements in which a business combination is accounted for under PFRS 3. It follows
that this requirement does not extend to the individual (or separate) financial statements of the investing or parent entity.
So, it seems that the basis of the general rule applies to PAS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment) and PAS 38 (Intangible Assets) wherein
the direct costs is capitalized in the books of parent entity and eventually become expense through eliminating entry to prepare
consolidated statements.
** Answer c – P1,500,000; In Revised PAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” in relation to PFRS 3 par. 33, which refers to any
acquisition-related costs incurred by the acquirer in relation to the business combination (for example legal costs, due diligence costs – such
as finder’s fee are expensed off and not included in the consideration transferred. The key reasons given for this approach are provided in
paragraph BC366:
 Acquisition-related costs are not part of the fair value exchange between the buyer and seller.
 They are separate transactions for which the buyer pays the fair value for the services received.
 These amounts do not generally represent assets of the acquirer at acquisition date because the benefits obtained are consumed as
the services are received.
The PFRS 3 accounting for these outlays is a result of the decision to record the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair
value. In contrast, under PAS 16 and PAS 38, the assets acquired are initially recorded at cost . The following items are worth noting to
justify the use of this approach:
1. This view is supported by Hilton and Herauf in their book Modern Advanced Accounting in Canada, 7 th Edition (2013) which is
an IFRS based discussion, in the solution they presented in one of their end-of-chapter problems, they expensed the direct costs in
recording the investment in subsidiary in the book of parent company
2. Similar with No. 1 above, in the book Applying IFRS, 3 rd edition (2013), by Picker, et al (which is also Ernst and Young book,
which seems to contradict their position in the discussion above) in chapter 24 end-of-the chapter problems, the direct costs (or
“costs incurred in undertaking taking the acquisition” as the term used in the book) were not part of the investment in subsidiary
as evidenced by the amount in the eliminating entry.
3. One respected author in accounting even commented that, despite the above analysis capitalizing the direct costs seems to be
correct and have basis since the segregation of old PAS 27 to Revised PAS 27 and PFRS 10, the problem is, if the parent records
the direct costs as part of Investment in subsidiary, it may be a problem when there will be an impairment test which will reveal
the costs are in fact unrecoverable and thus that there must be an impairment charge at the parent level (in which the direct costs
is included as part the investment), which would have the effect of bringing the parent’s accounting (with the impairment
investment including the direct costs) in line with what would later appear on the consolidated financial statements.
The author believes that the there is logic on the basis of applying the general rule in interpreting the definition of “costs” in PAS 27 wherein
the basis are PAS 16 and PAS 38, giving rise to an effect wherein the direct costs will be part of the investment in the books of parent
entity. But because of the three reasons mentioned above, the author believes that the direct costs still be considered as expenses
applying PFRS 3, aside from the fact that in substance the ultimate objective is to consolidate, even though there was a separation of
standard between Revised PAS 27 and PFRS 10.
95. a
96. d – Since, CC Corp. is not a subsidiary, no elimination of intercompany accounts will be made. Therefore, the
P200,000 remains to be a receivable. On the other hand, WW Corp. is a consolidated subsidiary, so the
P300,000 intercompany account will be eliminated.
97. d
98. c – In the combined financial statements (which normally used to described financial statements in a “common
control” situation), intercompany accounts are eliminated in full.
99. a
100. d – In consolidating the subsidiary's figures, all intercompany balances must be eliminated in their entirety for
external reporting purposes. Even though the subsidiary is less than fully owned, the parent nonetheless
controls it.

The acquisition method consolidates assets at fair value at acquisition date regardless of the parent’s percentage
ownership.

An asset acquired in a business combination is initially valued at 100% acquisition-date fair value and
subsequently amortized its useful life.

Pedro ltd issues 2 ½ shares in exchange for each ordinary share of Santi Ltd. All of Santi Ltd’s shareholders
exchange their shares for Pedro Ltd. Pedro Ltd therefore issues 150 shares (60 x 2 ½) for the 60 shares in Santi
Ltd.
Pedro Ltd is now the legal parent of the subsidiary Santi Ltd. However, analyzing the shareholding in Pedro Ltd
shows that it consists of the 100 shares existing prior to the merger and 150 new shares held by former
shareholders in Santi Ltd. In essence, the former shareholders of Santi Ltd now control both entities Pedro Ltd
and Santi Ltd. The former Santi Ltd shareholders have a 60% interest in Pedro Ltd [150/(100+150]. The IASB
argues that there has been a reverse acquisition, and that Santi Ltd is effectively the acquirer of Pedro Ltd.
Reverse acquisition occurs when the legal subsidiary has this form of control over the legal parent. The usual
circumstance creating a reverse acquisition is where an entity (the legal parent) obtains ownership of the equity
of another entity (the legal subsidiary) but, as part of the exchange transaction, it issues enough voting equity as
consideration for control of the combined entity to pass to the owners of the legal subsidiary.
The key accounting effect of deciding that Santi Ltd is the acquirer is that the assets and liabilities of Pedro ltd
are to be valued at fair value. This is contrary to normal acquisition accounting, based on Pedro Ltd being the
legal parent of Santi Ltd, which would require the assets and liabilities of Santi Ltd to be valued at fair value.
