    Hi!! revaluation gain or loss on subsidiary’s asset is not time apportioned,then how come in June 2011 Q1 the loss on fair value of equity financial asset investment is time apportioned?

    also revaluation gain or loss for the year is accounted in NCI total comprehensive income analysis,why is the loss on equity investment not adjusted here?
    (it is being adjusted in NCI(Con.SFP) and other equity reseve)

    The question specifically states “During the post acquisition period Sentinel’s land had increased in value over its value at the date of acquisition by $1 million. Sentinel has recognised the revaluation within its own financial statements.”

    DURING THE POST-ACQUISITION PERIOD ……. that’s why it’s not time apportioned – it relates entirely to the post acquisition period

    The answer – an extract….

    “Loss on fair value of equity financial asset investments (700 + (400 x 6/12)) (900)

    From what I can see, it IS accounted for in comprehensive income analysis. Or am I misinterpreting your question?

    i am really sorry,i have not gone through the answer properly.They have adjusted NCI TCI analysis.
    Other comprehensive income (1,000 – (400 x 6/12) x 25%) 200

    Regardless of the post acquisition period or not revaluation gain or loss of subsidiary, URP in inventory,impairment and dividend received from subsidiary are not time apportioned right????
    Then how can the loss on equity investment be time apportioned?

    Also in the same question they haven’t included the other equity reserve of Sentinel,is it because its pre-acquisition??

    ” they haven’t included the other equity reserve of Sentinel,is it because its pre-acquisition” – Yes

    “After the acquisition Sentinel sold goods to Prodigal for $40 million” – pup arose only post-acquisition

    “URP in inventory,impairment and dividend received from ” – where’s the impairment?

    Dividend from subsidiary – it was only a subsidiary for half a year – the entire dividend must be post-acquisition

    “Then how can the loss on equity investment be time apportioned?” – there is in the question the statement that says “All items in the above statements of comprehensive income are deemed to accrue evenly over the year unless otherwise indicated.” – that means that the loss on the equity investment accrued evenly!

    OK?
