When d sub sold PPE to the parent half way thru d this year, the NBV of d plant was $750,000 & d transfer price was $820,000. Whilst d sub owned d plant, it was being depr on a straight line basis over its remaining estimated useful life of 7 yrs. However, on d sale to d parent, d estimate of d remaining useful life was revised to 5 yrs. The group charges full yr depr in d yr purch & none in d yr of sale?

May 26, 2016 at 10:23 pm #317361Oh sorry sir. The qn is whr adj shd be made in d records of d sub for d purposes of d consolidation?
I had thought d adj and be (750000/7*6/12). But a answer isn’t thereMay 26, 2016 at 10:34 pm #317366I calculate it as $70,000/ 5 = $14,000
For half a year = $7,000
So pup is $70,000 – $7,000 = $63,000
Do you think it would be a good idea to stop this silly “d” business?
It doesn’t take long to type “the” and you surely are not so busy that you don’t have time to be professional
I worry because you may well start to write “d” in the exam and there goes all the professional marks
May 27, 2016 at 5:52 pm #317553Oh! Thank you. I got it clearer now!
And sorry for the nauseating “d’s”
I sure won’t write that way in the exams.
May 27, 2016 at 6:50 pm #317558Let’s hope not!
You’re welcome
