•Cash of $2.400,000 paid on 1 January 20X6
•Cash of $1,000,000 paid on 1 January 20X8 (a discount rate of 7% was applied to value the liability in the financial statements of MN) and
The transfer of 1500,000 shares in MN with a nominal value of $1 each and an agreed value on the date of acquisition of $2 each

Required:
Prepare a consolidated statement of financial position for A plc at 31 December 20X7.There is no point in simply typing out full questions and expecting to be provided with a full answer!!!
You must have answers in the same book in which you found the questions, and so ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain.
Everything needed to be able to answer the questions in explain in our free lectures, and you cannot expect me to type out my lectures again here 🙂
(As far as the second of these two questions is concerned, you obviously cannot be asked to produce a full consolidated SOFP in the exam. However you can be asked to calculate individual figures from the SOFP.)

Excuse me sir ,
Can you give me some idea how to solve this question ??This question could not be asked in Paper FA (because of the mention of the discount rate).
