Ask the Tutor ACCA SBR
accounting for jiont venture
10y ago#1The interest in the joint venture should be equity accounted as though it were an associate. But in the same way that we eliminate the group's share of any unrealised profits that relate to trading with an associate, we must do this also with a joint venture.
Of the $6 million that has been credited to "Other income" therefore, we need to eliminate Ejoy's 50% and so we need to reduce Ejoy's retained earnings by that $3 million
OK?
