    When we test for impairment of an Associate-

    Should the carrying value of an associate, to test for impairment, be:

    Cost of Associate
    Add % share of Post Acquisition profit to date
    and should we less
    Impairment of goodwill to date?

    It does not apply to this question as the acquisition took place during the year. What if the acquisition took place a few years ago?

    Please sir could you answer this question for me

    On the lecture on basic consolidation Example 2: Rey acquired Finn on 1 January 2014 and the requirement is to prepare Rey SFP as at 31 December 2015.
    On the depreciation figure I don’t understand why it is two years (400/10)*2 yrs instead of one year – 2014 to 2015?

      Hello Bridget, probably the reason why he seems not to attend to you is at this level some questions are sacred. Let me give you some clue. From 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2015 is how many months and how many months makes a year?. Thanks and have a lovely day.
