combination at that date. BB reported assets with a book value of P1,198,080 and liabilities of P683,520.

77. On August 1, 20x7, the ReSA Co. acquired the net assets of LV Co. for a consideration of
P20,940,000 cash. On acquisition date, the carrying amount of LV’s net assets was P14,310,000 and
temporary appraisal of P14,862,000 was attributed to the net assets. In addition to the consideration
transferred above is another P1,218,000 cash to be transferred nine months after the acquisition date if
specified profit target was met by the acquirer.
On the acquisition date, there was only a low probability of the profit target being met, so the fair value of
the additional consideration liability was determined to be P561,600. On December 31, 20x7, an update
of the provisional fair value of P20,178,000 was attributed to the net assets. Also, at year end the
estimated amount of the consideration liability is determined to decrease by P86,400 from the last date of
the change in estimate.
On March 31, 20x8, the estimated amount of the consideration liability is determined to be probable at
P340,800. On July 1, 20x8 the temporary appraisal decreased by P1,128,000 from the last additional
valuation date.
The provisional value was finalized on August 31, 20x8 with an amount that is higher by P1,284,000 from
the temporary appraisal as of July 1, 20x8.
