    • NCI Interest: Fair value of subsidiary (this is not the price paid) x NCI %
    • TO CALCULATE TOTAL FAIR VALUE = price paid / percentage of company the parent is purchasing
  2. How is the NCI’s portion of the subsidiary calculated after the date of acquisition? What accounting method is used?
    • The equity method

  4. The subsidiary suffered a loss in net income for this year. How does this affect the NCI’s portion?
    It doesn’t – the NCI gets the percentage ownership of the loss.
  5. How is the NCI’s portion of the subsidiary calculated on the date of acquisition under IFRS Partial Goodwill method?
    • Fair value of the net identifiable assets including book value x NCI % = = NCI Interest

  6. The fair value of a subsidiary on the acquisition date is calculated as…
    • Acquisition cost + NCI portion at FV OR
    • Price paid for acquisition / % ownership of new parent
  7. How is goodwill calculated using (1) GAAP full goodwill vs (2) IFRS partial goodwill method?
    • GAAP: Full Goodwill
    • FV of the sub – FV of the identifiable assets = Goodwill
    • Goodwill x NCI % = NCI’s portion
    • Goodwill x parent’s % = parent’s portion
    • IFRS: Partial Goodwill
    • NCI’s Portion = Identifiable assets (including book value) x NCI % = NCI’s portion
    • Goodwill to Parent = Acquisition Price – (identifiable assets x parent’s %)
