Step 2. Calculate the net assets of S at acquisition and at the end of the reporting
period (31 December Year 7).
At this stage, make any fair value adjustments, or adjustments for unrealised profit.
By adjusting for unrealised profit at this stage and charging it to the retained
earnings of the subsidiary, we make sure that the non-controlling interests will bear
their share (in Step 4) and the parent will bear its share (in Step 5).

The unrealised profit in the inventory is: $24,000 × 50/(50 + 100) = $8,000.
The inventory of S must be reduced from $80,000 to $72,000, to eliminate the
unrealised profit.
Step 3. Calculate the goodwill at acquisition.

Step 4. Calculate the non-controlling interest.
Non-controlling interest share of net assets of the subsidiary at 31 December Year 7
(the end of the reporting period)
= 20% (Step 1) × $362,000 (Step 2) = $72,400.
