On 1 October 2018, H Limited acquired 80% of the ordinary shares of B Limited when B Limited's retained earnings were 3,100 million Krones.

The fair value of the identifiable net assets of B Limited on 1 October 2018 was 9,008 million Krones. The excess of the fair value over the carrying amount of net assets is due to an increase in the value of land.
2
H Limited wishes to use the "full goodwill" method and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in B Limited as at 1 October 2018 was 4,550 million Krones. There has been no impairment of goodwill since acquisition.
3
On 1 October 2018, H Limited issued a 10% loan note amounting to Ksh. 40 million to B Limited repayable in ten years' time. Interest on the loan note has been correctly accounted for by both entities. However, the loan note is still recorded in the financial statements of B Limited at the amount obtained by applying the rate of exchange at the date of the issue.
4
H Limited expanded its overseas operations and on 1 April 2019, acquired an overseas building with a fair value of 715 million Krones. In exchange for the building, H Limited paid the seller with land which it had held for long term capital appreciation. The carrying amount of the land was Ksh.100 million but it had an open market value of Ksh.140 million. H Limited has only recorded the transfer of Ksh.100 million from investment properties to property, plant and equipment. The transaction has commercial substance.
