When a subsidiary is disposed such that control is lost, a gain is already recognised in parent’s separate SOPL.
But a separate gain is also recognised in consolidated SOPL. Do we eliminate the gain in separate SOPL of parent?
Also.. When shareholding in a subsidiary is disposed such that control is retained, what do we do to the gain recorded in separate SOPL of parent? Do we eliminate it?
Thanks for your time.
I think it would be a regular gain in the parent’s own P&L (proceeds minus carrying value of investment). This would be eliminated on consolidation – I think the calculation would be horrible and I’m extremely relieved that they wouldn’t ask for it!
