Use either proportionate or FV NCI 3 / 5

NCI can be valued using the PROPORTIONATE method or the FAIR VALUE method

Proportionate method

Here NCI gets its % of S's NA

  1. % of S's NA (at fair value)

  2. No goodwill in S is given to NCI

Let's say the parent acquires 80% of a subsidiary with net assets of 100.

NCI would receive 20 at acquisition

The goodwill calculation would look like this...

FV of ConsiderationX
NCI20
FV of Net Assets Acquired(100)
GoodwillX

Fair Value

Here NCI get their % of NA AND goodwill

  1. % of S's NA (at fair value)

  2. % of S's Goodwill

Let's say the parent acquires 80% of a subsidiary with net assets of 100.

NCI would receive the FV of its holding at acquisition

This would be given in the exam or calculated as NCI shares x share price

Let's say this is 28

The goodwill calculation would look like this...

FV of ConsiderationX
NCI28
FV of Net Assets Acquired(100)
GoodwillX
