 The following information is relevant(ADJUSTMENT):

1)The fair value of Danute’s net assets differed from its carrying values at 1 July 2015. Plant was $8 million in excess of its net book value. Plant had 4 years remaining at the date of acquisition. The group depreciation policy is to charge depreciation on a proportionate basis and should be included in cost of sales. No adjustment was made for this in Danute’s financial statements.

2)Ausrahas a policy of revaluing land and buildings to fair value (as allowed per IAS 16) at each reporting date. Danute accounts for its non-current assets at historical cost. At the acquisition date, Danute’s land and buildings had a fair value of $2 million greater than their book value and at 31 December 2015 this had increased by a further $400,000 (ignore any additional depreciation).

3)On 1 July 2015, Ausratransferred an item of machinery to Danute. The machine had originally cost $1.2 million on 1 July 2010, and it was transferred to Danute for $1 million. Machines have a useful life of ten years. The Useful Economic Life has not changed as a result of the transfer.

 4)During the year Ausrasold goods to Danute at a transfer price of $250,000. All of the goods were sold on outside the group by the year-end. The current accounts of Ausra and Danute were reconciled at the year end with Danute owing $50,000.

 5)Ausra’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the non-controlling interests at the date of acquisition is $7.3 million.

 6)An impairment test carried out on 31 December 2015 concluded that consolidated goodwill was impaired by $780,000.
