Calculate the purchase consideration.

1. Total assets at book value: ₹ 2,50,000
2. Assets taken over at 10% less than book value
3. Total liabilities: ₹ 1,00,000
4. Liabilities not taken over: ₹ 25,000
5. Liquidation expenses of ₹ 5,000 to be borne by the purchasing company



Answer :

To calculate the purchase consideration, let's proceed through the given steps one by one:

1. Total Assets at Book Value:
- Given: ₹2,50,000

2. Assets Taken Over at 10% Less than Book Value:
- Calculate the 10% reduction: [tex]\( 10\% \text{ of } \text{₹2,50,000} = \text{₹2,50,000} \times 0.10 = \text{₹25,000} \)[/tex]
- Subtract this from the total assets at book value: [tex]\( \text{₹2,50,000} - \text{₹25,000} = \text{₹2,25,000} \)[/tex].
- Therefore, the value of assets taken over is ₹2,25,000.

3. Total Liabilities:
- Given: ₹1,00,000

4. Liabilities Not Taken Over:
- Given: ₹25,000
- Subtract the liabilities not taken over from the total liabilities to get the liabilities taken over:
[tex]\[ \text{Liabilities Taken Over} = \text{₹1,00,000} - \text{₹25,000} = \text{₹75,000} \][/tex]

5. Liquidation Expenses to be Borne by Purchasing Company:
- Given: ₹5,000

6. Calculate Purchase Consideration:
- The purchase consideration is calculated by subtracting the liabilities taken over and the liquidation expenses from the value of the assets taken over.
- Calculation: [tex]\[ \text{Purchase Consideration} = \text{Assets Taken Over} - \text{Liabilities Taken Over} - \text{Liquidation Expenses} \][/tex]
- Substituting the values: [tex]\[ \text{₹2,25,000} - \text{₹75,000} - \text{₹5,000} = \text{₹1,45,000} \][/tex]

Therefore, the purchase consideration is ₹1,45,000.
