    Hi,

    I was working through this example 2 and in the answer in the notes on page 167 of the notes, I have seen the FV is 400. I am unable to get this figure since my calculation is $1850m FV of net assets – $1800 (Net assets according to draft financials) = $50m as the FV with a extra depreciation of $50m/10 years remaining useful life = $5m.

    The answers suggest $400m for FV and $80m for extra depreciation.

    Kindly note this affects all other workings and hence need further clarification on the same.

    Please confirm why the figures are not $50m for FV – PPE and not $5m for Depreciation in the answer.

    Waiting to hear from you soon.

    Kind regards,

    Aayush Shah

    Hi,

    If the FV of net assets is $1,850 million at acquisition and the equity share capital is $1,000 million and the retained earnings $450 million then the difference is $400 million – 1,000 + 450 +400 = 1,850

    Thanks
