Acquisition Analysis And Consolidation Journal Entries Of Tuna Ltd

Consolidation of the financial statemenst mainly deal with integration of the financial statements of both the parent as well as the subsidiary company. Here the parent company (Tuna Limited) means the acquiring company and the subsidiary company is the target company (Brim Limited). Various accounting adjustments are being done while doing the acquisition of the company (Sithole, et al., 2017). Further, business integration valuation entries are needed to make adjustments in carrying amount of assets and liabilities of subsidiaries to fair value. The pre-acquisitions entries generally reduce the carrying amount of the parent investments in every subsidiary (Dichev, 2017).

Fair value of only the identifieable assets and the liabilities are being recognised when the entity is being taken over as the contingent liabilities are generally not seen as materialised on the date of acquisition and hence not valued at fair value (Goldmann, 2016). They are just given for the disclosure purposes. According to AASB3, companies are required to recognize these by another business on the date of acquisition. Companies identify the FVINA with relation to the subsidiary’s equity balances, instead of the balances of individual assets and liability.

Notes on Accounts:

The total equity of the group is the sum total of the equity shares share capital), the retained earnings, the net profit and the general reserves. It is the total capital formulation of the company over the years put together. In short, it is equal to the net assets of the company and the thereby both the sides of the balance sheet will be equal(Alexander, 2016).
Profit is generally the difference between the incomes and expenses for the year on which the tax is being paid at 30% and the remainder is profit after tax. This is then being added to the retained earnings and shown as part of the equity.
For the current assets like accounts receivables and inventory, the line by line item consolidation takes place and the book value is added for both the entities while doing consolidation(Das, 2017).
Similarly, for the current liabilities as well like the payables, the line by line item consolidation takes place(Boccia & Leonardi, 2016).
Deferred tax asset or liability is created due to the timing differences. There are some line items on which the tax is being paid as per taxation laws and the tax as per accounting laws might need to be paid in the later years, thereby giving rise to the deffered tax asset or liabilities.
