Dividend (20 + (10 x 30% ) ) 23,000My question is why when we consolidate on Dividend , we only recognized 30% on Bury Dividend . Is there any link between $7000 Dividend on Profit and Loss under Black to the consolidate SOFP .
I just want to know the reason and logic behind it.Regards
April 21, 2016 at 12:58 pm #312068Dividends are not really so relevant for F3 – it is really only in F7 that they before important.
However, in the consolidated statements we only show dividends to outside the group (i.e. to the NCI). So the 7,000 goes out of the subsidiary and into the parent – so is ignored. It is only the dividend to the 30% NCI that is shown in the consolidated accounts.
