    Is there anywhere where all the workings are listed and when they are relevant? Just wanted to check before I go through the notes to try and pick them out.

    Hello Mike,
    I was of the of the opinion that we would need to add the $84k retained earning profit for the year to the $820k but you treated it otherwise. Please could you shed more light on this. Thanks. Regards . David

        @mizanm, David, you’re given the retained earnings figure to CARRY FORWARD. That’s 820. But included within that figure is this year’s profits so, when calculating retained earnings brought forward ( or even when calculating retained earnings at date of a mid-year acquisition ) we need to deduct “this year’s retained earnings” from the carry forward position to get back to the brought forward position.

        If it’s a mid-year acquisition, we need then to time apportion the 84

    Thanks for the great lecture. We hence need to do the b/f workings ONLY if we are required to prepare SOCIETY? Otherwise no need? I’m right?
    Thx

      @affera, I believe then NCI is calculated on the proportional basis i.e. no NCI goodwill. Please correct me if I’m mistaken!

        @lahorianscorpio, dbm1 you should time apportion if it’s a mid year acquisition. If you mean “Should I time allocate within the consolidation question?” then again, yes. You should allocate your time for ALL PARTS of EVERY QUESTION!
