Explanation / Answer

70% stake bought for 270,200

Book value of net assets was 350,000 and as mentioned in question only difference in book value and fair value was 10,000 higher value of land

Hence fair value of the net assets will be 350,000 + 10,000

= 360,000

If equity method investment is followed then,

Fair value of the investment purchased = 360,000* 70%

= 252,000

However we have paid 270,200

In equity method investment, whatever amount paid over the fair value is shown as goodwill in financial statements.

In the present case goodwill amount will be

270,200 - 252,000 = 20,200

Accounting entry will be

Investment account debit 252,000

Goodwill account debit. 20,200

To Cash/Bank 272,000

However while presenting the investment in balance sheet investment will be shown at 270,200 and in inner column we will mention that out of this 20,200 is goodwill.
