    Thanks a mill… I understand all the calcs. Main difference being d/e … I used to use the whole debt figure rather than just long term debt. So that’s fine now.

    .. For net profit when would u use the bottom figure ‘profit for year’ I would see this as the overall net profit … As per the question we have used ‘net profit from operations’ and not net profit.

    Hi

    Not seen the text book.. However the answe is a :371

    Total time for 9 units :800×9 ^ -0.2344652 x 9 =4301

    Total time for 8 units : 800×8 ^-0.2344552 x 8 =3930

    4301 – 3930 = 371.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks

    Hi mike
    Thanks for the reply.

    I find in the Kaplan text it says .. To calculate group ret earnings..

    It’s

    P’s retained earnings (100%)
    P’s % of subs post acquisition retained earnings

    Less parents share of impairment.

    For Nci :

    Nci value at acquisition
    Nci share of post acquisition reserves
    Less nci share of impa

    Re the sustainable and economic sustainable I put down stuff like .. The campaign group has different needs and the gov of eans have different needs.. So this is a clash wher hec need to balance the 2.

    Re the CEO being paid excessive I argued in favour of him as rem should be according to industry norms

    Re the internal control flaws… I put down language barriers.. Employee morale etc..

    Internal audit …review fin. N operation controls… Assist with risks.. Special investigations .. Review economies etc..
    Letter Was yours faithfully..

    Option questions

    I did q3 and 4…

    Any thoughts ?
