Mr. Mike in the above Eg., you have arrived at NCI - B/F in one way which is understandable, But, If I tried to calculate using our normal way, we learnt. it show a different figure .. as below NCI -B/F NCI Value as of date of acquisition = 42,857 Post acquisition R/E (500,000-50,000)30%=135,000 Total = 177,857 In USD 177,857/5.90 = 30,145$ But, Your way show 62,960$ What's the mistake I have made, Because, I couldn't understand. Pls advise.... BR, Priyantha

The figure of 42,857 is quoted in dollars whereas 135,000 is in soum What you're trying to do is convert the dollar figure into ....... dollars!
