consolidated profit and loss

Mmansoor10y ago
ok.. this is loud thinking. the question is to calculate the goodwill and then the csopl. it is mid year acquisition i did everything right except..... the scenario said "...S's reserves at 1 Apr 07 were 69 million.." when i read that, i somehow thought that this will include the share capital also. and my net assets computation did not include the equity... :( reserves will always refer to items other than equity?

Yes - but be careful because sometimes a question will tell you what the "net assets at date of acquisition" were and that figure DOES include the share capital
