    Hello.. I just have a few queries.. in example number 3 we have transferred the gain of the individual parent into the carried forward consolidated retained earnings..(i.e 600 + 35) . but in this example we have taken the group amount of 27.5 in the consolidated retained earnings.. why is that so.. why are we not taking the individual parent gain’s amount of 50 here(i.e 350 -300).. please help ASAP

      See posts below! Diana and Liga is NOT a consolidated Statement of Financial Position because there is no subsidiary at the year end

      Found it as i listened later that it sells 60% of the inv. so 80%x60%0 48 and he keeps 80-48= 32 %

    Dear Mike,

    In Chapter 4 , example # 4 (Raimonda & Dainius) The $50000.00 that represents the gain in the parent. (W 3A) Shouldn’t this figure be included in the retained earnings W3 C/f . Just like you did in example # 3 (Diana & Liga)

    Kindly clarify the confusion…

        I certainly WILL reply – this is the first time I have seen your post. If you really want a reply from me in future, then post it on the “Ask the tutor” page. That way there’s a chance that I shall see it!

        Now, Diana and Liga – the gain in Diana is included in W3 – but that’s not a consolidated working because Diana has no subsidiary as at the year end.

        When we get to Raimonda and Dainius, here we DO have a subsidiary and the gain in the parent is included in the Consolidated Retained Earnings W3

        Is that ok?

        And next time POST ON ASK THE TUTOR!!!!
