Hi,
In equity accounting we record the share of the post-acquistion profits of the associate. These are then added to the cost of the investment to get the investment in associate in the non-current assets and the other side of the entry is to increase the retained earnings of the group as otherwise it wouldn’t balance.
The environmental provision is recorded at its present value and the discount needs to be unwound to get to its final value when the payment is due. To do this we increase the provision and increase the finance costs.
The question says that the interest on the loan notes has not been recorded and so we need to accrue for the three months where they have been in issue.
Thanks
thank you so much Chris
