    Hi my DEAR Tutor, I have a question

    ————————————————————- Laimonas ——–Kristine
    ——————————————————————$’000——– $’000
    Non-current assets
    investment in Kristine————————————– 50
    other ————————————————————23——— 16
    Current assets————————————————- 36——— 64
    Total assets—————————————————–109——— 80
    $1 Equity shares———————————————– 60———- 20
    Retained earnings———————————————- 40———- 50
    Current liabilities————————————————– 9———— 10
    Total equity and liabilities ————————————–109———– 80

    Laimonas has proposed a dividend of $16,000 Kristine has proposed a dividend of $10,000 Both of the above were proposed before the year end, but not adjusted for. Laimonas acquired 90% of Kristine’s share capital 4 years ago when the balance on Kristine’s retained earnings was $30,000.
    The value of the nci shareholding at the date of acquisition was $5,500

    Net assets of Kristine——AD————–DR———–Post acquisition period
    SC——————————20000 ———-20000————nil
    RE——————————30000———–40000———–10000

    cost of invesment——–50000
    NCI at FV—————————-5500
    net identifiable asset————-(50000)
    goodwill——————————5500
    impairment(5500*80%)———–(4400)
    Revised goodwill———————1100

    GRE–38040
    RE of Laimonas-40000
    Share of Laimonas(20000*90%)-18000
    Impairment(4400*90%)——–3960
    Laimonas didivdend pay—-16000

    Kristines dividend pay is inside of 20000,that is why

    NCI at date—7060
    NCI at FV—-5500
    NCI share(20000*10%)-2000
    impairment(4400*10%)-440

    In your calculation why U have got NCI at DAte 6060 ?need explanation?
    Thanks in advance

    “RE——————————30000———–50000———–20000”

    This line in your post is incorrect – it takes no account of the dividend of $10,000 that has been proposed by Kristina so post acquisition RETAINED earnings are only $10,000 and not $20,000 as you have written

    I agree with u i have not made any adjustments but i face following problems

    “RE——————————30000———–40000———–10000”

    this part is confusing I see you take into consideration dividend receivable in GRE calculation but not NCI calculation. I think 10000 should have NCI share and NCI should be 7060 but not 6060 I can not see logic behind it.By the way your consolidation is really different from Bpp and Becker test bank i have never faced such kind of examples in my life.Really your these two examples can not let me understand this exercise.

    GRE–38040
    RE of Laimonas-40000
    Share of Laimonas(10000*90%)-9000
    Impairment(4400*90%)——–3960
    Laimonas didivdend pay—-16000

    dividend recevivable (10000*90)–9000-this part

    Coming to NCI Part, if Kristine pays dividend it will have Nci share
    NCI at date—6060 if we take into dividend pay by sco except for post acquisition of 10000 retained earnings it will be 40000
    NCI at FV—-5500
    NCI share(10000*10%)-1000
    impairment(4400*10%)-440

    dividend receivable 10000*10=1000

    I’ve answered this question already! Did you look at the solution and find the figure of $1,000 that I asked you to do?
