    Im getting confused on Working 2 – Net Assets of a subsidiary.
    When we have fair value adjustments eg 1. land had a fair value of $2 000 000 below its carrying amount OR 2. fair value of $2,000 000 above its carrying amount.
    How come on 1. we deduct the $2m and on 2. we add the $2m? I dont understand why we treat the adjustment like that.
    thanks

    Imagine a Balance Sheet! As you push up the value of the assets, what happens to the shareholders’ funds? Equally, as you decrease the value of an asset again, what happens to shareholders’ funds. Remember, a BALANCE sheet must balance (hence, the name!)
