    Sir

    Can you please explain the calculation of Ex-5 from Chapter 10 Open Tuition Course Notes?

    What is the difference in calculation when RE b/f and c/f given? Why did you calculate separately?

    Thank you.

    ***************************************

    On 1 July 2001 Didzis acquired 75% of Ansis for $65,000. The balance on Ansis’ retained earnings was $18,000 at that date. Ansis had equity
    share capital of 20,000 shares of $1 each. Goodwill had been impaired by 75%, and the Didzis’ directors now wish to impair it fully.
    Details for both entities for the year ended 30 June 2009 were:
    Didzis Ansis
    $’000 $’000
    Revenue 300 160
    Cost of sales 192 105
    Gross profit 108 55
    Distribution costs 18 10
    Administrative expenses 14 17
    32 27
    Profit before tax 76 28
    Income tax expense 21 16
    Profit after tax 55 12
    Dividends 17 8
    Retained profits for the year 38 4
    Retained earnings brought forward 174 37
    Retained earnings carried forward 212 41
    It is company policy to value the NCI as their proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets
    Prepare the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income of the Didzis Group for the year
    ended 30 June 2009, and calculate the figure for retained earnings to be shown on the Statement of Financial Posit

    I use the Didzis example to introduce the concept of how similar it is to calculate retained earnings, whether it be retained earnings carried forward, brought forward or even “for the year”

    In addition, it serves as an introduction to statement of changes in equity but you will NEVER be asked for a statement of changes in equity in question 1 (you could easily be asked for one in question 2)

    Ok?

    You’re welcome – don’t forget that after this period of last minute panics, we too get a rest from “ask the tutor” until August 8!
