This paper consists of TWO (2) sections. Answer ONE compulsory question in SECTION A and
any TWO (2) questions from SECTION B in the answer booklet provided.
Section A: Answer ONE compulsory question.
Question 1
Le Clerc, a public listed company, holds equity interest in the following companies:
Hamilton
Le Clerc acquired 80% of the equity shares of Hamilton on 1 January 2020 for RM 115 million
when the retained earnings of Hamilton stood at RM 15 million and the other reserves stood at
RM25 million. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the net assets was approximately
equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of a piece of property. The property has a fair
value of RM 25 million in excess of the carrying amount and this would create additional
depreciation of RM 1 million in the post-acquisition period to 31 December 2020.
Perez
Le Clerc acquired 2.4 million shares in Perez on 1 January 2018 for RM 3 million when Perez’s
retained earnings were RM1.2 million. Le Clerc takes an active part in the Perez’s policy
decisions.
Vettel
Hamilton acquired 90% of Vettel on 1 January 2020 for RM 235 million when the retained
earnings of Vettel stood at RM 25 million. On 1 January 2020, the fair values of Vettel’s net
assets were approximately equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of a piece of land.
The land had a fair value of RM 5 million in excess of the carrying amount. The fair values have
not been reflected in the books of Vettel.
Vettel had inventory with a carrying value of RM 2 million which was deemed to have a fair
value of RM 2.4 million. All of this inventory had been sold by 31 December 2020.
