The accountant for HHH Ltd, Ms Stephanie, has sought your advice on an accounting issue that has been puzzling her. When preparing the acquisition analysis relating to HHH Ltd’s acquisition of Orton Ltd, she calculated that there was an excess on acquisition of $10,000. Being unsure of how to account for this, she was informed by accounting acquaintances that this should be recognized as income. However, she reasoned that this would have an effect on the consolidated profit in the first year after acquisition date. For example, if Orton Ltd reported a profit of $50,000, then consolidated profits would be $60,000. She is unsure of whether this profit is all post-acquisition profit or a mixture of pre-acquisition profit and post-acquisition profit.


Required:
