    Great lecture as always! Thank you so much!

    What I would like to ask why you are calling the total of ES and RE 'attributable to NCI'? You even write it down @ 13:50.
    Does not it belong to the parent's shareholders?

    The Net asset calculation of John's of $200,000, is taken directly from the financial statement of John's, not the text below given as FV, that's the non-controlling interest of 20%.
    Cause in the John's FS the value of its total shares is $200,000, and the FV of non controlling interest 'The FV acquired ...' is also $200,000, it makes the confusion.

    The Net asset always take from FS, the FV given in the text is normally the Non-controlling interest.

    This is how the result came as explained in the Video.

    Good morning All,

    Should we mention in our Group SFP that the investment was £NIL? Or there's no need to mention it?

    Thank you :-)

    Hi cornflakes,
    You forgot to add retained earnings of J's at acq which is 100 000. So NCI = (Net Assets + Retained Earnings) x 20% = 300 000 x 0.2 = 60 000

    1540 is attribute to parent I believe.

    Dear Sir,

    Is it possible to provide the amendment to the question as mentioned above.
    I tried the NCI at FV as $200,000 X 20% =$40,000. and it would not balance, yet according to the working #3 and #4 this is the correct calculation.

    Please explain. I'm confused.

    Thanks in advance.

    I did same, my NCI was 40000 and it balanced. Check ur goodwill make sure its 340k and ur Net asset at acquisition shld be 300k. I am wondering why d total share is 200 and total nci is also 200. Its doesnt seem right

    Hi Sir,
    In Kaplan, test your understanding 1 of consolidated statement of financial position it says that Dickens acquired 16,000 shares of $1 on 1 jan 20X8, but in the working 3 they are taking fair value as $60000, why?

    Hello sir,
    I'm afraid I don't understand why you assume FV of NCI to be the whole 200k USD. The phrase is "the FV of Jones's equity was 200k at acq.". And the equity share capital for Jones is 200k, so why don't you consider the 200k for the total, making NCI FV at acquisiton only 20%of it (so 20%x200.000=40.000 instead of 200.000)?
    Thank you very much .

    Hi,

    It will be clearer in the exam the far value of the NCI and I'll make a minor amendment to the question to prevent any further confusion.

    Thanks

    Hello, I would like to point out that It appears that this amendment hasn't been made in the current notes. the Question still states that "the fair value of Jones' equity shares acquired was $200k at acquisition"
    the answer in the back is using the 200 as the F.v of the NCI as you have.
