how do u calculate retained earnings at the date of acquisition for goodwill – please can anyone solve tht bit for me.
RE for Goodwill in Salva:
RE as per question 152 000
post acq. profit 10 500 (6/12×21000) P bought S on 01/04/09 – 6 months period
UPR 1000 (5000in stock x 20%)
163 500 that is how I calculated it 🙂Ignore my answer. It is sooooo wrong:-) I checked last night at home.
There is actually nice explanation in the past paree answerThere is 2,000 loan interest paid by Salva to Pandar. this is 8% on 50,000 for 6 months. This loan interest paid has been deducted in arriving at Salva’s profits for the year, but it is specifically a post-acquisition expense.
So, add back the 2,000 to arrive at a ( pre-loan-interest ) profit for the year. Then take six months as being the profit achieved by Salva for the period before acquisition. The reported profit for the year was 21,000. With the add-back, that becomes 23,000. Halve it gives you 11,500. Add that to the retained earnings brought forward and you arrive at 152,000 + 11,500 = 163,500
Hope that helps
