    Hello Sir,
    My question is whether following profit and loss statement is including result of discontinued operation of Deadwood, as question mentioned it is consolidated……….if yes

    1. Then while calculating ROCE Deadwoods, net asset removed from both the year buy why PBIT is not reduced which belongs to Deadwoods.

    2. Where are the adjustment of that one off item loss on disposal of Deadwoods.

    224 Greenwood Co 36 mins
    Greenwood Co is a public listed company. On 31 March 20X7 Greenwood Co sold its 80%-owned subsidiary –Deadwood Co – for $6 million. The directors have been advised that the disposal qualifies as a discontinued operation and it has been accounted for accordingly. The disposal proceeds were not collected until after the year end.

    Greenwood Co did not own any other subsidiaries.
    Extracts from Greenwood Co’s financial statements are set out below.

    Hi,

    If Deadwood is a discontinued operation then we should try to look at the results without including these results. As the results are included in one line item under the title ‘Profit/(loss) from discontinued operations then they are not included in the results for continuing operations, hence not adjustment to PBIT. There is an adjustment to the net assets as presumably the net assets of Deadwood are still in the consolidated results.

    Thanks
