    All of it

    Loved it! I've found it difficult to understand using the Kaplan book, but you made that easy. The Kaplan book threw in Share Premium, which threw me for a loop when I was working through questions, aside from that, thank you so much for helping me tackle this, it's a popular topic on the exam as you said, and now I have no worries about it. I can't thank you enough.

    Hello,

    I was wondering if there had been pre-acquisition retained earnings, would we use P's share of the pre-acquisition retained to work out the goodwill or would we just use all of it like we have been doing up to this point?

    hello sir,what do we do in case where the company S has sold goods to company P cash and has made profit out of it, and company P has also sold them goods to the third company outside the group and has also made its own profit?Do we do any adjustments in this case?
  5. John MoffatTutor
    No - if they ended up being sold outside the group then the whole profit has been made and no adjustment is needed.

    For the unrealised profits of 1,200, shouldnt some share of it belong to the NCI?
  7. Thenuka
    Dear John,

    Shouldn't we add $1,200 to the retained Earnings of 'P' too, because P would have included this as a Purchase and thus understating profit?

    Thanks!
  8. John MoffatTutor
    No. Had there been no goods left in inventory we would simply remove the amount of the inter-group sales from the total of the groups sales and the total of the groups purchases, and the total group profit would not be affected. We are only removing the 1,200 because that is profit that had been recorded by S but had not been made by the group as a whole because the inventory has not been sold externally.
  9. Thenuka
    Understood!

    Thank You Very much. ?
  10. John MoffatTutor
    You are welcome :-)

    Also in the study text they are mentioning about some mandatory workings. actually do we need them?
  12. John MoffatTutor
    Workings are not looked at by anyone in this exam - the exam is all computer based and the computer just marks the answer!
  13. Muhammed Saleem
    Sir,
    When we are calculating Retained earnings and NCI, PURP should be subtracted seperately after the post acquisition, isn't it?
    Eg:- Calculating the NCI for ex7:
    FV of NCI 5000
    Post acquisition (15000x25%) 3750
    8750
    Less: PURP (1200)
    7550

    In our campus they taught in this method. Also in the study text for ex., answers are in this method
    I'm totally confused, which is correct??
    Please clear my doubt
  14. John MoffatTutor
    Questions like this should be asked in the Ask the Tutor Forum and not as a comment on a lecture!
  15. Muhammed Saleem
    Sure i'll drop this there

  17. Elikplim
    Please,I want a clarification on this :
    policies are to make a full provision for unrealised inter-company profits, and to treat
    goodwill in accordance with IFRS
  18. John MoffatTutor
    Both are exactly as explained in the free lectures!
  19. NUR HAZIQAH
    Hello sir i wanna ask why we calculated the NCI as 25%/75% and why not simply just 25% from the $15000??
  20. John MoffatTutor
    $15,000 is the cost of only 75% of S's shares. Therefore the value of the remaining 25% must be 25/75 x $15,000.
  21. Asif
    Splendid well executed lecture, sir !
  22. John MoffatTutor
    Thank you for your comment :-)
  23. Sabyasachi
    Sir, what do we do in case the fair value of NCI isn't given and there is a case of goodwill. Suppose the subsidiary's capital was 20,000 and the Parent purchases 60% of it for 20,000.
  24. John MoffatTutor
    In that case you assume the fair value of the NCI was 40% x 20,000/60%
  25. John MoffatTutor
    That is great news - many congratulations :-)

    And thank you very much for your comments.
  26. Saher
    Do we have Mid-year acquisitions in our syllabus?
  27. John MoffatTutor
    Yes, possibly.
  28. beti
    what do you mean by bought on incorporation?would you please explain it a bit
  29. John MoffatTutor
    The date of incorporation is the date that the subsidiary was created. The parent company will either buy on that date or on a later date (depending on what is written in the question).

    Hello sir
    why are we deducting 1200 profit from value of total inventory (13000+7000-1200). At 22:39 minutes.
    Thank You .
  31. John MoffatTutor
    It is the PURP - the unrealised profit on goods that were sold from S to P that the question says are left in inventory, so that the inventory is valued at the cost to the group.
    I do explain this earlier in this lecture.
  32. rahmatbakhshi
    Hello sir, I have watched your lecture but I've got a question regarding the PURP: 1- If the seller is the parent so the PURP must be deducted from the Retain Earnings of the parent.
    2- If the seller is the subsidiary then the PURP must be deducted from the Retain earnings of the Subsidiary and does not affect the retain earning of the parent.
    3- The final adjustment is that we have to deduct the Inventory at cost: (Inventory less PURP) on consolidated SOFP. .
    Are the statements above are true and work for any Inter-Group Trading question??
  33. John MoffatTutor
    1 & 2 are correct.

    However to deal with the PURP in the SOPL, we add it to the cost of sales (which reduces the profit of the group).
  34. Khaula Basheer
    Hi John,a doubt regarding the deduction of the unrealised profit in the consolidated statements.Since the goods are sold on credit between P and S why are we deducting unrealised profit when there was no exchange of any money against the goods between the two companies.It was mere change in the ownership of the goods.
  35. John MoffatTutor
    Sales are recorded when the sale is made - not when the cash is received. If P sells to S then P will have recorded the sale in their own accounts and will therefore have recorded the profit. P has made the profit, but if any of the goods were not sold externally then the profit on them needs removing in the consolidated accounts.

    Hello Sir.

    thank you for all your lectures. I just have a question. If a company is a Group e.g Sunshine Group ¨PLC will the financial statements be prepared same as in these chapters of GROUP ACCOUNTS


    I would really appreciate your response,
  37. John MoffatTutor
    The individual companies are not groups and prepare their own accounts in the normal way.
    If the companies are a group then they are required to also prepare group (or consolidated) accounts and this is explained in my free lectures on group accounts.
  38. harshin
    Hii John
    If we are deducting the profit of transfering goods from the selling company ,why not it adding back to the profit of purchasing company?.
  39. Taurus
    How to deal with the current accounts if it appears in the question?
  40. John MoffatTutor
    It is explained in the next lecture!!
  41. Teshwar
    1. If the subsidiary sells goods the purp is deducted from retained earning at reporting date??

    2. If the parent is the seller then the retained earning at acquisition is deducted from retained earning at reporting date?
  42. John MoffatTutor
    Neither statement is correct as you have typed them.
    How we deal with the PURP is explained in detail in the lectures.
  43. benmartin
    Thank you very much for your help... do you have any material on level 6 financial reporting theory and practice?
  44. John MoffatTutor
    Sorry but we only have material for the ACCA and CIMA qualifications.
