At the beginning of the current year, Ronald Company purchased 40% of the outstanding ordinary shares
of New Company, paying P6,400,000 when the carrying amount of the net assets of New Company
equaled P12,900,000. The difference was attributed to equipment which had a carrying amount of
P3,000,000 and a fair market value of P5,000,000 and to building which had a carrying amount of

3. What amount should be reported as investment income for the current year?
Step 1: Compute if there is GW or Gain on Acquisition
Acquisition Cost 6,400,000
Net assets acquired (40% x 12,900,000) (5,160,000)
Excess of cost 1,240,000
Excess attributable to equipment (40% x 2,000,000) (800,000)
Excess attributable to building (40% x 1,500,000) (600,000)
Excess of fair value over cost (Gain on Acquisition/Neg GW) (160,000)
Step 2: Entries
Step 3: Compute the Investment Income
Gain on acquisition 160,000
Share in net income (40% x 2,300,000) 920,000
Amortization of excess:
Equipment (800,000 /4) (200,000)
Building (600,000 /12) (50,000)
Investment income 830,000
Or
Net Income 2,300,000
Amortization:
Equipment (500,000)
Building (125,000)
Adjusted Net income 1,675,000
* 40%
Share in net income 670,000
Gain on Acquisition 160,000
Investment income 830,000
