ITP Syd Ltd used the fair value method to measure this investment with movements

Case 2: Consolidation worksheet, previously held investment in subsidiary

On 1 August 2018, ITP Syd Ltd acquired 10% of the shares in Peters Ltd for $8000. ITP Syd Ltd used the fair value method to measure this investment with movements in fair value being recognised in profit or loss. At 1 July 2017, the fair value of this investment was $15 400.

Peters Ltd also had reported a contingent liability at 30 June 2017 in relation to claims by customers for damaged goods. ITP Syd Ltd placed a fair value of $3000 on these claims.
