    Hi,
    I’m doing this following question and I have a problem:

    Wilmslow acquired 80% of the equity shares of Zeta on 1 April 2014 when Zeta’s retained earnings were $200,000.During the year ended 31 March 2015, Zeta purchased goods from Wilmslow totalling $320,000. At 31 March 2015, one quarter of these goods were still in the inventory of Zeta. Wilmslow applies a mark-up on cost of 25% toall of its sales.
    At 31 March 2015, the retained earnings of Wilmslow and Zeta were $450,000 and $340,000 respectively.
    The question is to calculate the retained earnings of Wilmslow’s consolidated statement in financial position.

    Answer:

    Retained earnings:
    $
    Wilmslow 450,000
    Post acq Zeta ((340 – 200) x 80%) 112,000
    URP in inventory (320,000 x ¼ x 25/125) (16,000)
    ––––––––
    546,000
    I have calculated as I calculate the URP for 16,000 then deduct to the retained earning of Zeta for the year ended 31 March 2015 so I get 124,000. After that I multiplied with 80% as the percentage of acquisition.
    I dont understand why the answer did not multiply the URP with 80%.
    Thanks
