Question

XYZ Co had the following accounts at the time it was acquired by ABC Inc (see image below). ABC paid P1,400,000 for the net assets of XYZ. It was determined that the fair market value of inventories and PPE were P133,000 and P900,000 respectively. There is an assumed contingent liability arising from past events with a fair value amounting to P10,000 and such amount is considered a reliable measurement. Compute for a) Cost of Acquisition and b) goodwill or gain from acquisition

Definition Definition Costs that a business is responsible for paying, should a particular event potentially occur in the future. Also called a potential liability, a contingent liability is generally recorded only when the amount of liability can be reasonably estimated and the contingency is likely to occur shortly. The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Principles (IFRS) make it mandatory for the companies to record any contingent liability taking the principles of full disclosure, materiality, and prudence into consideration.
