    I’m going through the revision kit and got stuck with case study Rod nr. 37.
    The problem arises as the subsidiary purchased equipment for 50 mil and got a trade discount of 6 mil during the year beginning 01.12.X0. This discount was taken to P&L, it’s all clear to me. Another info is depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over six year.
    The question is about the cons. SoFP of the year ending 30.11.X3 (meaning 3 years from the event above).
    But the solution to this question states that a trade discount less depreciation = 6 x 5/6 = 5 mil should be deducted from the retained earning of that subsidy.
    Can anyone pls. explain to me why 5 over 6 years? shouldn’t it be 3/6 or am I misunderstanding sth here. Bunch of thanks for the reply.

    I don’t have kit or past papers with me at the moment, as far as I remember they should have recorded it by 44 excluding trade discount (50-6=44) its straight line depr and i think 1 year has passed, hence taken 1 year depreciation.
