    ₹16,00,000 when Subsidiary’s net assets are ₹15,00,000. At acquisition, the fair value of minority interest equals its proportionate share of net assets. Calculate goodwill and minority interest.
    A Goodwill ₹1,00,000; MI ₹3,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Goodwill ₹4,00,000; MI ₹3,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Goodwill ₹4,00,000; MI ₹4,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Goodwill ₹1,00,000; MI ₹4,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • MI = 20% × ₹15,00,000 = ₹3,00,000. • Total consideration + MI = ₹16,00,000 + ₹3,00,000 = ₹19,00,000. • Goodwill = 19,00,000 – ₹15,00,000 = ₹4,00,000.
