PART-B
The today’s environment of business comes with lots of changes and challenges. To survive in today’s environment, business needs to encounter certain problems and have to do certain types of business combinations. These business combinations are in the form of merging with another company, purchasing the business of other companies, disinvesting, acquiring and so on.
With these business combinations, the acquisition related costs come. These costs are those costs which are incurred in the business combination and are mandatory to incur. These acquisition costs include the following type of expenses (Staff, 2018):
(a) advisor’s fees
(b) legal fees
(c) accounting and valuation fees
(d) professional and consulting services fees
(e) general administration expenses
(f) Costs of maintaining internal acquisitions
(g) costs of registration of debt and equity instruments and so on.
These costs are incurred by the company acquiring the business of another business means they are incurred by the acquirer of the business.
The accounting treatment of these costs is defines under AASB 3, “Business combinations”. According to AASB 3 these costs should be expensed off in the period in which they are incurred. Meaning there by these costs should be charged to profit and loss account (“Business Combinations”, 2018).
However, there is one exception to above treatment, that is for debt and equity issuance costs. According to AASB 3, the debt and equity issuance costs should be capitalized in the period in which they are incurred, since the benefits from these costs are expected to last for more than a year.

Profit can be of two types, one is realized profit and other is unrealized profit. The realized profit is that profit which has been actually earned by the business. On the other hand, the unrelized profit is that profit which has not been actually earned or realized by the business. In the consolidation, there are various intra group transactions between the companies in the group. These transactions involves profit element and this profit element needs to be eliminated from the consolidation. This elimination is required to be done since the profit has not been actually earned by the business and reflects the notional income entry. Hence, the impact of such entries needs to be eliminated. This unrealized profit gets realized when it is sold to the external parties. Until it is sold to the external parties, the gain involved needs to be removed from the transactions.
These intra group transactions involve the following type of transactions (“Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, 2018):
(a) Gain on sale of non-current depreciable assets – The transfer or sale of non-current assets between the group companies normally involves the profit means this transfer is made at profit. Since, this profit is an unrealised profit, hence it needs to be eliminated from the books, since the one company is earning profit and other company is spending extra cost. Along with elimination of gain entry, the excess depreciation charged due to this gain also needs to be eliminated. Along with the gain and depreciation reversal entry, the impact of tax on such entries also needs to be taken care off.
(b) Profit in ending and opening entry – Another common transaction between intra group companies is the sale of inventory at profit. Again this transaction involves unrealised profit in the form of extra cost of gain earned by one company on sale of inventory to another company. This profit also needs to be eliminated from inventory and along with profit the intra company sales and cost of sales figures also needs to be corrected by eliminating the intra group sale and cost of sales involved in these figures. Further, the depreciation impact on such elimination also needs to be entered in the books.
(c) Gain on sale of non-current non-depreciable assets – Another type of transaction is the intra group sale of non-depreciable assets (like land) at a profit. And hence, the gain on sale of such non depreciable assets needs to be eliminated as this profit is an unrealized profit and is not actually earned by the business. Along with gain elimination, the tax impact also needs to be done.
