    Dear Sir,

    Kindly help me understand the following concept that I’ve probably missed out.

    The answer key to the particular Question says:

    ”The $11 million service cost and interest figure above includes the carrying
    amount of the subsidiary’s defined benefit obligation at the acquisition date.
    Therefore, the actual expense is $10m ($11m – $1m). This is added back in the
    reconciliation between profit before tax and cash generated from operations.”

    Please explain the need to deduct that $1m, I understand doing so in movement of working capital but why here?

    Only consolidate post acquisition earnings.

    Post acquisition expense is 10 charged in P&L

    This is not a cash flow so is added back in the reconciliation

    Contributions paid are then deducted in the CFS
