    Q)Hand had created on 1 July 2008 a new management entity in which it holds 80% of the
    equity share capital with the remainder being held by an employee share ownership trust.
    Hand had invested $160,000 in the entity at the reporting date, and Hand had incurred
    $400,000 in administrative set?up costs. These costs have been treated as goodwill on
    consolidation as the setting up of the new entity constitutes a ‘notional’ acquisition with
    the set up costs being included in the cost of acquisition. The shares held by the employee
    share ownership trust were issued at a price of $2 per share and are included in the
    consolidated statement of financial position of Hand at this amount within current assets.
    The share capital of the management entity is 100,000 equity shares of $1.

    ans Where an ESOP trust holds assets on behalf of
    employees, the assets should be recognised as assets of the ‘sponsoring’ entity, i.e.
    the property management entity. However, on consolidation this asset must be
    eliminated as these shares are those of the subsidiary and not the holding entity
    and do not now constitute assets of the group. Therefore, current assets should be
    reduced by $40,000 (20,000 shares at $2) and also non?controlling interest by
    $40,000 (I CANT UNDERSTAND LAST PART OF THE ANSWER CAN ANY ONE EXPLAIN WHY THEY REDUCE FROM BOTH 40000?)

    Which ACCA past exam question is this please? It doesn’t sound like an ACCA question.

    It seems to be way outside ACCA, I think. Cannot help.
