Highveldt
Note 2)Included in highveldt’s investments is a loan of $60 million made to samson at the date of acquisition.Interest is payable annually in arrears.Samson paid the interest due for the year on 31 March 2017 but highveldt did not receive this until after year end.Highveldt has not accounted for the accured interest.Hedra
Note 1)Salvador accepted a $50 million 8% loan from Hedra at the date of its acquisition.Plastik(past exam paper december 2014)
Note 2)on 30 september 2014 Plastik accepted a $1 million 10%loan note from Subtrak

Where we have an intra-group loan, interest will have to be accounted for if it hasn’t already been per the question
If it’s a loan from subsidiary to parent interest from the parent needs to be deducted from the parent’s retained earnings and added into the subsidiary’s retained earnings and, …
… if it’s a loan from parent to subsidiary, interest from the subsidiary needs to be deducted from the subsidiary’s retained earnings and added into the parent’s retained earnings
OK?
