The analysis of these amounts within working 5 on Page 136 of the Exam Kit should be as follows:
The answer is correct, subject to confirmation of how the carrying value of NCI at disposal date is
determined; it is correctly stated at $950 within the answer.

(ii) Purchase 5% of Mandy shares. Calculate the change in the carrying value of NCI as a result of
the share purchase

Decrease in equity 4,000

Comments:
Where there is a either a purchase or disposal of shares in a subsidiary, and control is retained,
this results in an equity transfer, rather than a gain or loss to the group.
With an additional purchase of shares, the decrease in NCI is based upon the proportionate
change in the carrying value of the NCI.
Where there is a disposal of shares in a subsidiary, and control is retained, this also results in an
equity transfer (e.g. chapter 3 TYU 6 David & Goliath). The key point here is that the increase in
NCI is based upon the carrying value of net assets plus goodwill in the subsidiary.

The dividend received from the associate is incorrectly stated as $58,000; it should be stated as
$38,000 to agree with the information in (W1).
Within the narrative at the end of the answer, the charge against retained earnings should be stated
as 60% x $150m = $90m – not the stated figure of $16m.
Chapter 16 - page 571-572
On 1 January 20X8 an entity purchased an equity instrument at a fair value of $900,000. As it was
not acquired with the intention of taking advantage of short-term changes in fair value, it would
normally be designated upon initial recognition to be classified as fair value through other
comprehensive income.
Due to the exposure to risk of changes in fair value of the equity instrument, the entity entered into
an interest rate swap, identifying the swap contract as a hedging instrument as part of a fair value
hedging arrangement. The fair value hedge has been correctly documented and designated upon
initial recognition and is expected to be an effective hedging arrangement. Consequently, changes in
fair value to both the equity instrument (hedged item) and the swap contract (hedge instrument)
will be matched in profit or loss, rather than accounted for separately.
At the reporting date 31 December 20X8, the fair value of the equity instrument has fallen to
$800,000, and there has been an increase in the fair value of the interest rate swap contract of
$90,000.
Required:
Illustrate and explain the accounting treatment for the fair value hedge arrangement based upon the
available information.
Solution:
The fall in fair value of the equity interest of $100,000 is taken to profit or loss. This is matched with
the increase in fair value of the interest rate swap contact of $90,000, resulting in a small net loss of
$10,000.
The effectiveness in the hedge arrangement (see later within section in Complete Text) can be
evaluated by comparing the change in the hedged item and the hedged instrument as follows:
As long as either one of the two measures above falls within the range 80% - 125%, the hedge is
regarded as effective.
The above fair value hedge arrangement would therefore be regarded as effective.

Test your understanding 8 Strauss – Hedge accounting
On 1 January 20X9 Strauss purchased an equity instrument at a fair value of $5,000,000. As it was
not acquired with the intention of taking advantage of short-term changes in fair value, it would
normally be designated upon initial recognition to be classified as fair value through other
comprehensive income.
Due to the exposure to risk of changes in fair value of the equity instrument, the entity entered into
an interest rate swap, identifying the swap contract as a hedging instrument as part of a fair value
hedging arrangement. The fair value hedge has been correctly documented and designated upon
initial recognition and is expected to be an effective hedging arrangement.
At the reporting date 31 December 20X9, the fair value of the equity instrument has fallen to
$4,200,000, and there has been an increase in the fair value of the interest rate swap contract of
$750,000.
Required:
Illustrate and explain the accounting treatment for the fair value hedge arrangement based upon the
available information.
Solution:
The fall in fair value of the equity interest of $800,000 is taken to profit or loss. This is matched with
the increase in fair value of the interest rate swap contact of $750,000, resulting in a small net loss
of $50,000.
The effectiveness in the hedge arrangement can be evaluated by comparing the change in the
hedged item and the hedged instrument as follows:
As long as either one of the two measures above falls within the range 80% - 125%, the hedge is

The above fair value hedge arrangement would therefore be regarded as effective.
