Hi, I have the same query. I have the BPP book and it states that the journal DR Retained Earnings CR Investment in associates is used independently of who the seller is. Can someone please confirm?

To the original poster, if you want the tutor to answer directly please use the ask the forum as this forum is designed primarily for students to help one another. I don't have book referred to by the question but easiest way of handling problem is as suggested by poster Sheyla - debit retained earnings and credit associate. Hope this helps.
