Tripoli Ltd registered a patent on 26 June 2011 but did not recognize it as an asset. Tangiers Ltd believed the fair value of the patent was $45 000. The patent is legally enforceable for a period of 15 years. On 1 January 2015, Tripoli Ltd sold the patent for $30 000.
At 1 July 2011, Tripoli Ltd was involved in a lawsuit brought against it by a customer for damages suffered as a result of poor quality goods supplied. Lawyers for Tangiers Ltd advised that the court is likely to find in favour of the customer and likely damages may amount to $30 000. After a prolonged court case, damages of $34 000 were paid in full settlement on 3 May 2015.
The plant had a further five year life at acquisition date and was expected to be used evenly over that time. Buildings have a further 10 years of useful life. The delivery truck which was expected to have a further four year useful life at acquisition date was sold on 1 April 2014 for 28 000. During the year ended 30 June 2011 all inventory, on hand, at acquisition date, was sold. As a result of the annual impairment test at 30 June 2015, Tangiers Ltd determined that the goodwill of Tripoli Ltd had been impaired by $5 0003.
In the financial year ended 30 June 2014 Tripoli Ltd transferred $10 000 from retained earnings on hand at acquisition date to the general reserve.
