Additional Information:

(1) At the date of acquisition, Pluto’s retained earnings stood at £210,000 and both companies have not issued any new shares since 2017.

(2) At the date of acquisition the land and buildings of Pluto were revalued to fair values and a revaluation surplus of £180,000 was created. All other assets were deemed to be stated at fair values.

(3) On 31 December 2020 the group carried out a full scale revaluation exercise in line   with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment which is reflected in the individual statements of financial position above. Solar does not depreciate land and buildings.

(4) As a result of the slightly disappointing performance of Pluto, the directors of Solar are of the view that the goodwill remaining in Pluto at 31 December 2020 is only worth     £362,650.

(5) The details of intra-group transactions during 2020 are as follows:

(i)     Solar makes sales to Pluto at a mark-up on cost of 50%. At 31 December 2020, Pluto’s inventory includes £18,000 of goods bought from Solar.

(ii)    At  31  December,  Solar’s  books  showed  Pluto  as  a  receivable  for  £50,000.

However, this did not take into account a cheque for £20,000 that was sent by Pluto on 30 December and had not been received by 31 December.

(iii)    On 1 January 2020 Solar sold an item of plant to Pluto for £300,000. Solar carried

this plant at £200,000 on the date of sale. Pluto has charged depreciation of £30,000 on this plant since it was acquired. The plant is depreciated using 10% straight-line method.
