    Hi mike

    There is a statement as follows . On 1 April 2005 P purchased 2 million loan notes in S! On 1 April 2006, it purchased 4 million shares for 7500 ! When calculating the cost of investment, they only take the 7500 but why don’t we take the 2 million loan notes!

    And the second issue is on the associate and parent unrealized profit, suppose P sells goods to A and has made a urp of 2000 but this is attributable to P so why do we only take the group percentage??

    When I was a student learning about consolidations, we had a T account called “Cost of Control Account”

    Tell me, how much control has P achieved when investing $2 million in a loan note?

    “…so why do we only take the group percentage??”

    We do this because that’s what the Interpretations Committee decided was the appropriate thing to do!

    OK?
