    Account
    Cost
    Carrying Amount
    Fair Value
    Inventories
    
    $ 19,800
    $ 21,800
    Land
    
    $ 50,000
    $ 55,000
    Equipment
    $ 76,250
    $ 61
,000
    $ 73,000
    Contingent Liability
    Rex Ltd. identified at acquisition date a lawsuit where Rex Ltd. was sued by a formal supplier with the fair value of:
    $ 8,000
    Unrecorded Asset
    Rex Ltd. had unrecorded and internally generated patent with the fair value of:
    $ 20,000
    Unrecorded asset
    Rex Ltd. had unrecorded and internally generated in-process research and development with the fair value of:
    $ 15,000
As per accounting standard, at the time of business acquisition, all the assets & liabilities had to be taken in its fair value. Hence, to derive the fair value of all of its assets & liabilities of Rex Ltd., following adjustment needs to be done:
Computation of all identifiable assets & liabilities at its fair value:
    Particulars
    Amount
    Share Capital
     $ 2,64,000
    General Reserve
    $ 1,98,000
    Asset Revaluation
    $ 99,000
    Net worth of the company
    $ 5,61,000
    Less: carrying amount of assets included above
    $ 1,30,800
    
    $ 4,30,200
    Adjustments:
    
    Add: Fair value of Inventories
    $ 21,800
    Add: Fair value of Land
    $ 55,000
    Add: Fair value of Equipment
    $ 73,000
    Add: Unrecorded Patent Value
    $ 20,000
    Add: Unrecorded Process research & development
    $ 15,000
    Less: Contingent liability
    $ 8,000
    Fair Value of Net assets at acquisition date
    $ 6,07,000
    Value of 98% share at fair value (607000*0.98)
    $ 5,94,860
    Value at which 98% shares are purchased
    $ 6,60,000
    Goodwill Value under Partial goodwill method
    $ 65,140
Remarks:
From the above table, it can be observed that Sam Ltd. had paid $ 65,140 as premium i.e. more than its value for the purchase of 98% shares of Rex Ltd. which would be recorded as Goodwill while consolidating the books of both the companies.
