    Ah! You’re using the Kaplan style of calculating post-acquisition profits!

    What’s the matter with:

    (20,000), 20,000, nil

    ?

    I still maintain that my method is easier!

    this is from bpp
    50000 min 20000=30000 goes to goodwill

    and (5000) + 20000 =15000 goes to retained earnings.

    my doubt is .it should be (5000)+(20000) =25000 which has to be taken to retained earnings under spiro.?

    My answer appears to tie in with Kaplan!
