    Sir,
    I ask about, which method is used, equity or cost? for both the investment in subsidiary (consolidation) and associate (no consolidation) ?
    Thanks

    Cost for the Subsidiary and equity for the Associate

    Surely this is all in the course notes and in the videos

    But is it possible to use any of both at the subsidiary case ? as long as there is consolidated statements .

    NO!

    In the case of the subsidiary we HAVE to use the profits as at date of acquisition

    Is that ok for you?

    It is meant that we have to use only the cost method, at the subsidiary case ?

    Yes, IFRS 3 talks about an acquirer and an acquiree and cost method is the one to be applied
