    Hello
    In this question profit for the year of subsidiary = 66000
    Parent acquired subsudiary in mid year
    At same time it invested in some loan of subsidiary
    The interest on the loan for 6 months = 5000

    So my question is , how to calculate post acquisition profit ?
    In answer they calculated like this : 66000*6/12 = 33000

    But I think post acquisition profit should be calculated like this
    (66000+5000)*6/12 – 5000 = 30500

    Help me please

    Hi,

    Why would you adjust for the interest on the loan prior to pro-rating the profits?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    It is the 33,000 being 6/12 of the profit for the year.

    Thanks
