Hello Sir,
When working out the NCI, post acquisition reserves, we take the total assets as 39750 dinars and fair value of 3200 Dinar( 4000-800 ). as 800 is the depreciation.
Why is depreciation taken for 2 years and not 3. the fair value on 1st jan 20×6 was 4000 with a useful life of 10 years and we are reporting on 31st dec 2018.
isnt it suppose to be 1200 because its 3 years.
having doubt if im doing something wrong here..
looking forward to your reply.
Thanks
Manan.
Hi,
Sorry, looks like I can’t count correctly and it should be three years.
Thanks
thank you for your reply Sir.
Dear Sir,
There’s also a question on this Example 5 about the exchange diff on translation of a foreign Sub.
In the answers in the Notes the change is $1265 (477 OpNA+31 Profit+757GW).
477+31=508. However, as you confirm it’s been 3 yrs instead of 2 yrs, then the amount of 508 is wrong?
Please, look at my calculation:
Opening NA: 39750 – 25200 + 2800 – 1100 = 16250/3,9 = $4166
Profit: 2300 – 1200 = 1100/3.6 = $305
Closing NA: 39750 – 25200 + 2800 = 17350/3,4= $5103
The diff is 632 (instead of 508 from the answers).
Is it correct, Sir?
Thank you very much in advance!
Looking forward to you answer!
Hi,
Given the initial error then it looks correct.
Thanks
