Dear All,
I have stared at this q for over 3 hours! I cannot see how to calc the pre-acq div. Info provided is as follows:TBay – doa 1 Dec 2005
Ord Share cap of 1$ – 120
Reserves at doa – 80
FV of NA at doa – 310
Cost of Inv 216
Ord share cap of $1 acquired: 72.Profit for year 31 May 2005: 15
Profit for year 31 May 2006: 30.Draft income statement has been provided, but I do not think it is relevant to the div calc. It seems that the pre-acq div is $40. How is this calculated?
I will be grateful for any help. Maybe BPP has missed out important info?
