I saw you subract retained earning 124000-60000=64000 why are you doing that and why I you putting dividend on consolidated group retained earnings last 40000*0.75*2/3*1*4.30=86000 but you did 20000*0.75*2*1 can i ask it the way to do it and dividend always you have to put on consolidated retained earnings and 26000*0.3 =7800 its not suppose to be 26000*70/100
September 23, 2015 at 3:43 pm #273284Deduct 60,000 from 124,000 to find retained earnings brought forward from last year. Then find how much of the 60,000 this year was achieved pre-acquisition
September 23, 2015 at 3:51 pm #273287We’re trying to eliminate the PROFIT, not the cost of the sales …. so the calculation of 26,000 x .3 is correct
September 23, 2015 at 11:45 pm #273335Good evening Sir
So if it is profit margin you do in way when do we do 70/100 please help me iam getting confused
September 24, 2015 at 10:20 am #273375Yes ….. except we very rarely use “70/100”
70/100 is the COST of the intra-group inventory
What we are trying to eliminate is the unrealised profit in inventory so we would use the fraction 30/100
So that’s why it’s 30/100 x 26,000
All clear?
