      Thank you for your comment.

      We are not able to give help by email and that is why we have the Ask the Tutor Forums.

    Hi sir, thank you for your efforts for students and this site is so helpful for my acca study.

    sir i have one doubt regarding Retained earnings calculation @ 16:55 of this lecture.
    i.e., as per question, only S sold goods to P worth 6000 at cost+25%, then only P has to be given effect for the unrealized profit of 1200.
    but in the Non controlling interest calculation, S also got effected. why this is happens when we are preparing consolidation statements only with regard to P and its group companies.
    For Minority shareholders those sale transaction seems like a normal sales then why we will effect the Non controlling interest, by this Non controlling shareholders will loose profits by 300 ( i.e., 25% of 1200).
    My doubt is to why should Non controlling shareholders bear that loss?
    Thank you sir,

    Reg, Gopal (India)

      Firstly, nobody is having a ‘loss’ – the financial statements of P and S separately are not affected. The consolidated statements are not prepared because there is another company in law – in law there is not another company, it is simply showing the position as though there was one big company.

      The goods were sold from S to P at a price that included a profit, so it is S who recorded that profit in their accounts. Therefore because some of those goods were not sold externally (and are still in P’s inventory) is it S’s profit (and therefore S’s retained earnings) that needs reducing by the PURP.

    Hi sir,

    To calculate the fair value of NCI, can I do it as 0.25/0.75 * 15,000?

    thanks 馃檪

      If the question did not give a fair value for he NVI, then yes – you would do this.
      However in Paper F3 you will almost certainly be given a figure for the fair value in which case you must use the figure given.

    Hi sir,
    my problem is in example 1 we take consideration $8000 for share capital of $8000
    but according to example 7 we should calculate this way

    consideration $8000
    Fv of NCI 20%x$10,000=$2000
    so total consideration=10,000

    share capital =$10,000

    Hi sir,

    in example 1 p acquired 80% ordinary shares of s on its incorporation and in this example 7,p acquires 75% of share capital of s on its incorporation. why we are not calculating fair value in example 1.like we did in example 7.

      December 5, 2016 at 3:36 pm

      But we do calculate it the same way – I am not sure what your problem is.
      Obviously the non-controlling % is 25% in the second case and 20% in the first case.

        1,200 is the profit that S added on when they sold it to P. Since this profit has not been made by the group (because the goods have not been sold outside) it needs subtracting, so that the inventory is then at its original cost of 4,800 (6,000 – 1,200).

    I have a question concerning example 7. From where did you get the fair value amount of $5000 for the non controlling interest ??

    Log in to Reply
    • John Moffat says

      July 21, 2016 at 7:00 am

      P acquired 75% on the date of incorporation.
      Therefore the fair value of the NCI is the remaining 25% of the share capital of 20,000.

    Hi Sir
    i did a mock exam and was confused with 1 question. The question is on Section 2 which is consolidated statements. It’s with Alice and Bertha.
    question says Alice bought 90% of Bertha. Retained earnings at acq was $12000.

    Fair value of NCI is $10000

    In the statement of financial position retained earnings for Alice is $189000 and Bertha is $72000.

    One of the questions is to calculate retained earning.

    My calculation were as follow.

    P 100% $189000
    S 90% x (72000-12000) = $54000

    Therefore retained earnings is $189000 + $54000 = $243000

    However the corrected answer is $233000.

    My conclusion is that the fair value of NCI was adjusted for in retained earnings and i’m confused because I know that we calculate the NCI separate.
    Please help.

    Thank you

      In future please ask this sort of question in the F3 Ask the Tutor Forum and not as a comment on a lecture.

      The 10,000 difference has nothing to do with the fair value of the NCI.

      It is because there is inventory in Bertha that was sold to them by Alice.
      Therefore when we consolidate, Alice’s retained earnings need reducing by the PURP which is 2/3 x 50/150 x 45,000 = $10,000.

      Hey sir, i am trying to complete a question on this topic thats very complicated.
      it says during the year S co sold goods to P Co for $50000, the profits to S Co beimg 20% of selling price. At the period end 25% of the goods remained unsold in inventories of P Co. At the same date P Co owed S Co 12000 for goods bought and this debt included in trade payables of P Co and receivables of S Co.

      i need help with calculating the unrealised profits and hw do they affect the balance sheet.pls.

        You must ask this sort of question in the Ask the Tutor Forum – not as a comment on a lecture.

        This is dealt with in the lectures!

        The unrealised profit is 20% x 25% x $50,000 and is subtracted from the total value of inventory in the consolidated Statement of financial position.

    Good day Sir, Why did you use 75% in calculating for the retained earnings of S when it has only 25% shares? Thank you.

      If I can just explain really briefly,in theory when calculating csfp for retained earnings.
      It most likely to use the subsidiary post acquisition profit and mutiply by the percentage acquired added to the parent company.
      You can also subtract any amortization and depreciation if applicable to arrive at the group retained profit.
      Hope this helps?

      P owns 75% of S, and therefore they own 75% of S’s post-acquisition retained earnings.
