A parent company acquires a subsidiary in a business combination. The fair value of the
noncontrolling interest (NCI) is measured using the fair value of the consideration
transferred plus the fair value of the NCI. Under US GAAP, which of the following
statements is correct regarding the measurement of goodwill and the NCI?
A. Goodwill is measured as the excess of B. Goodwill is measured as the excess of
the sum of consideration transferred and the consideration transferred over the book
fair value of the NCI over the fair value of value of identifiable net assets; NCI is
identifiable net assets acquired; NCI is recorded at proportionate share of book
recorded at fair value. value.
C. Goodwill is only recognized for the D. Goodwill is measured as the excess of
parent's ownership interest; NCI is recorded consideration transferred over the fair value
at fair value but does not affect goodwill. of identifiable net assets; NCI is recorded at
proportionate share of fair value.
Correct: A - Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of consideration transferred
and the fair value of the NCI over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired; NCI is
recorded at fair value.
Rationale:Under US GAAP (ASC 805), the acquisition method requires measuring goodwill
as the excess of (a) the sum of consideration transferred and the fair value of any
noncontrolling interest over (b) the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The NCI can
be measured at fair value or at the proportionate share of identifiable net assets, but the full
goodwill method (fair value) is commonly used. Option A correctly describes this, while others
misstate the measurement basis or exclude NCI from goodwill.
Q2.

is the local currency. The subsidiary's assets and liabilities are translated using the

Rationale: When the functional currency is the local currency, the current rate method is used,
and the resulting translation adjustment is reported in other comprehensive income (OCI),
accumulating in a separate component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive income).
It is not recognized in net income unless there is a disposal or partial sale. Option A is correct;
B is incorrect as it would apply to remeasurement; C and D are incorrect because the
adjustment is not directly to retained earnings and applies regardless of ownership.
Q3.
In a troubled debt restructuring where the debtor transfers equipment with a fair value
less than the carrying amount of the debt to satisfy the obligation, how should the debtor
account for the transaction under US GAAP?
A. Recognize a gain on extinguishment B. Recognize only a gain on extinguishment
equal to the difference between the carrying equal to the difference between the carrying
amount of the debt and the fair value of the amount of the debt and the book value of
equipment; also recognize a loss on the equipment.
disposal of the equipment equal to the
difference between its fair value and book
value.
C. Recognize only a loss on disposal of the D. Recognize a gain on extinguishment
equipment, with no gain on extinguishment. equal to the difference between the carrying
amount of the debt and the fair value of the
equipment, but do not recognize a separate

amount.
Correct: A - Recognize a gain on extinguishment equal to the difference between the
carrying amount of the debt and the fair value of the equipment; also recognize a loss on
disposal of the equipment equal to the difference between its fair value and book value.
Rationale:Under ASC 470-60, when a debtor transfers assets to satisfy a troubled debt
restructuring, the debtor recognizes a gain on extinguishment (the difference between the
carrying amount of the debt and the fair value of the assets transferred) and also recognizes
a separate loss on disposal of the assets (the difference between the fair value and the book
value of the assets). This two-part recognition is required to properly reflect the economic
substance.
