Inter company purchases remained unsold at year end :- 9 / 5
Inter company current account balances :- 7 / 4Other relevant information is as under:
Inter company sales are invoiced at cost plus 20%.The difference between the current account balances is due to goods dispatched by GL on 30 June 2015 which were received by BL on 5 July 2015.
Required:
Amount of consolidated retained earnings as at 30 June 2015”.How to calculate this consolidated retained earnings Sir?
It’s impossible to do!
“acquired controlling interest in Beta limited” is insufficient detail
Sorry! I need to know how big is the controlling interest
If I have understood the post correctly, the answer looks to me like 61,367
Does that agree with the official answer?
(there’s a bit of doubt in my mind about the line “inter company purchases….”)
Sir this was a exam question of CA Pakistan. Solution hasn’t been uploaded.
Sir may I upload the whole question by taking a picture of the question? In that case u may be able to see the question yourself
