    i know that there is reconciliation but i also don’t meet it in textbook. i think if it is examinable, it may ask us to identify the operating segment to reportable segment.

    dou,

    in my opinion, the interest cost will only be calculated based on the pv of obligation b/f because most of them, we assume that the changes of the defined benefit plan scheme, and therefore incremental of past service cost, will occur at the year end, so no interest on it.

    i still don’t confirm this answer since i had read that some question do include some item when calculate the interest cost

    you are welcome.
    i wish to ask you about the transaction between sub-subsidiary to subsidiary. it is probable that this question will come out?

    example. if alpha purchase beta 80% shares and beta purchase gamma 90% share.
    therefore,
    effective interest in beta parent 80%
    NCI 20%
    effective interest in gamma parent 80%*90%= 72%
    NCI 28%

    if during the year, gamma sold goods to beta at $100. the cost to gamma is $80. all goods are still in the inventory of beta at the year end. therefore, the unrealized profit is $20. how can we split this 20???
    because gamma do not make the profit and this unrealized profit should be split to NCI of gamma, parent of gamma(that is parent of beta and NCI of beta), beta.

    do u understand my question??

    thx gagik. i find the answer already.
    For the issuer, it will be treated as compound financial instrument.
    therefore, dr cash
    cr liability
    cr equity component

    for the investor, if it meet the definition of embedded derivative,
    dr derivative, FVTPL
    dr carrying value of host contract
    cr cash

    hopefully i don’t make mistake this time.

    hi, there are 2 types to calculate the goodwill under IFRS3.
    first is purchased goodwill, then the goodwill attributable to NCI will be excluded.
    second is full goodwill, then both goodwill to parent and NCI should be calculated.
    hopefully i can answer ur question.

    it is a good plan. but, i wish to know whether those 10 chapters include all our syllabus.
    https://www.accaglobal.com/pubs/students/acca/exams/p5/syllabus/p5_syll_sg.pdf

    so, we will study the syllabus A2 this week.
    Appraisal of alternative approaches to budgeting for control
    a) Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of alternative budgeting models and compare such techniques as fixed and flexible, rolling, activity based, zero based and incremental. [3]
    b) Assess how budgeting may differ in not-for profit organisations from profit seeking organisations. [3]
    c) Evaluate the issues raised by advocates of ‘beyond budgeting’. [3]
    d) Discuss the behaviour aspects of budgeting for control and the impact such behaviour may have on corporate performance. [3]
