    Dear sir
    today I saw examiners report of sept 2017
    Example 2 in that parent acquired subsidiary 2 years ago and the depreciation that is charged to the asset should be multiplied by 2 times right sir ??? But in the answer while they calculated for cost of the sale they have not multiplied to 2 they have just considered the same acquired years depreciation
    M confused

    Cost of sales is an item on the statement of profit or loss

    The statement of profit or loss reflects an entity’s activities for (in this example) the YEAR ended 30 April, 20X6

    How much depreciation should be charged THIS YEAR on that fair value adjustment of $80,000?

    OK?

    Let me ask you the next question that is not in that example Paprika …

    … by how much should the consolidated TNCA be increased on the statement of financial position as at 30 April, 20X6 with reference to that machinery that was bought 2 years ago?

    Yes

    Is your original query now cleared up?

    No because I still think it has to be 20000 (10000*2) because it was acquired 2 years ago

    That was the point of my question in my original answer!

    “How much depreciation should be charged THIS YEAR on that fair value adjustment of $80,000?”

    How much depreciation should be charged EACH SINGLE YEAR on that fair value increase of $80,000? You know (because you’ve told me) that $10,000 should be charged EACH SINGLE YEAR

    And a statement of profit or loss is a statement of an entity’s activities FOR A SINGLE YEAR

    So let me ask again … “How much depreciation should be charged THIS YEAR on that fair value adjustment of $80,000?”

    The question asks you for the Cost of Sales figure and (again as I said in my original post) “Cost of Sales is an item on the statement of profit or loss”

    That means that the line item Cost of Sales represents the cost of the sales made by the entity FOR A SINGLE YEAR

    Is that getting any clearer now?

    It’s not a problem! I’m just pleased that now you understand – depreciation in cost of sales is for one year

    Accumulated depreciation on the statement of financial position is for all the years that the asset has so far been owned

    OK?
