Notes to the above financial statements:

1. Paddington acquired 84,000 ordinary shares in Winnie on 31 March 2017. They also acquired 15% of the preference shares.

2. At the date of acquisition, the retained earnings of Winnie plc were 205,000.

3. During the year, Paddington sold goods to Winnie for 10,400 which included a mark-up on cost of 30%. At the end of the year, 50% of this stock was still held by Winnie plc.
4. At the date of acquisition, the land and buildings of Winnie plc had a fair value of 50,000 more than their book value. This fair value increase has not been incorporated into the statement of financial position for Winnie plc. Land accounts for 20% of this amount. Winnie acquired the building on 1 April 2012. The group policy is to depreciate buildings over a period of 50 years.

5. Winnie spent 42,000 on developing a new and innovative product. Winnies policy is to expense development costs, however, it is Paddingtons policy to capitalise development costs (i.e. treat it as an asset). The following provides a breakdown of expenditure by Winnie:

Development costs up to 31 March 2017 32,000

Development costs after 31 March 2017 10,000

6. On the 31March 2020, an impairment test was carried out on the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Winnie plc. The report indicated that the goodwill needs to be written down by 10,000.

7. Winnie declared a dividend to its ordinary shareholders on 15 March 2020 which remained unpaid by 31 March 2020. Paddington has not accounted for this income in their financial statements.

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO:

1. Prepare the consolidation schedule for Winnie plc at 31 March 2020.

Calculate the equity and non-controlling interest that will appear in the consolidated statement of financial position for the Paddington Group plc at 31 March 2020.
