The finance director of Abbeville has instructed you as his accountant to prepare
certain information for the directors of both Abbeville and Northcote explaining the
proposed reorganisation.
Required
(a) Prepare the entity statements of financial position of Abbeville and of
Bonneville, reflecting the reorganisation and the acquisition of Lynette by
Bonneville.
(b) (i) Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position of the Abbeville
Group, as at 30 September Year 4, on the basis that Abbeville disposes of
35% of its shareholding in Narbonne for $700,000 on 30 September Year
4. Ignore any taxation implications.
(ii) If Abbeville disposes of 75%, rather than 35%, of its shares in Narbonne
on 30 September Year 4 for $1,650,000, advise on the accounting
implications for the consolidated accounts of the Abbeville Group if the
fair value of its remaining investment in Narbonne is $400,000. Use the
data in the question to illustrate your answer. Ignore tax and assume the
75% of shares are sold to a large number of different investors.
(iii) Explain the effect on the consolidated profit or loss of the Abbeville
Group for the year to 30 September Year 5 of the disposal of 75% of the
shares in Narbonne for $1,650,000 on 30 September Year 4, assuming
that the 75% shareholding is purchased by a single buyer.
(c) If the share for share exchange between Gourmet Delights and Abbeville were
to take place, the directors expressed their intent to account for the
combination using merger accounting (pooling of interests). You have
informed them that this method is no longer available and they have asked
you to explain the key differences in the accounting approach which they
should adopt in order to comply with IFRS 3.
