Hi @opentuition_team
The video’s were perfectly fine uptill yesterday but today they just won’t play. And this has never happened to me before. I did everything that’s on your support page but nothing. Please assist. Thanks!
It keeps giving me the error : Server not found: rtmpt://r.acca.opentuitioncom.netdna-cdn.com:80/play
That has happened to me occasionally, although a day or so later they were working fine. Are you sure it is all videos that are not working? I tihnk it may have something to do with high traffic? (although that really is a complete guess)
It had never happened to me before, just that day! and yes it was the same with all the videos’ but the next day it was all fine thankfully! PHEWW!
I’m getting ‘server not found’. But I watched the last video. My browser is ok. Please advise. Thanks.
it;s internet, these things do happen, it should be OK now
and for the ‘goodwill’ part why we dont add the post retained earnings and only add the pre retained earnings?
We are comparing what the parent paid for the shares, with what the subsidiary was ‘worth’ at the time we bought the shares.
At the date we bought the shares, the subsidiary had not even earned the post-acquisition amount, so it would impossible to include them!!!
i wanted to know why are aren’t we adding the top $15,000 retained earnings? They were earned on the day the company was acquired and should be added to the total retained earnings in the cons. balance sheet?
Retained earnings are only those that we earned since the date the parent bought the shares in the subsidiary i.e. the post-acquisition earning.
The earnings that the subsidiary had made before the date of acquisition (the pre-acquisition earnings) had been paid for – the parent paid for them when they bought the shares in the subsidiary. It was part of the reason that the parent paid as much as they did, and so they are included in the calculation of goodwill.
Dear Sir!
Will you please tell me, how we will identify in the exam whether our question is correct or there was some mistake in it.
I think you mean whether your answer is correct 馃檪
You will not know – you will be given the mark after the exam, but you will not be told which questions you got right or wrong.
What a brilliant lecture!!!! Thank you very much

why don’t we add the share capital of both P and S company in the consolidating balance sheet that is 50,000 and 10,000?
@maniali272, Because the consolidated accounts treat it as though it is one big company owned by the shareholders of the holding company.
The amount of the investment in the subsidiary ‘cancels’ out the share capital and reserves of the subsidiary.
many thanks,well understood
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks opentuition !
Excellent
very helpful.
