    Sell the asset for 100,000:
    Then Assets reduce by 80,000
    And Receivables/Cash up by 100,000
    Therefore, retained profits up by 20,000
    And SoFP balances!!

    So from a from a consolidation perspective:
    Retained earnings down by 20,000, and
    Cash/Receivables down by 20,000!!!

    No, Retained earnings down by 20,000, TNCA down by 20,000 ( this is the example on selling assets within the group isn’t it? )

    yes, this is the example on selling assets. i just don’t understand why TNCA down by 20,000. the 100,000 would become a receivable when asset sold, so therefore the 20,000 reduction should be in receivables (and retained earnings)?!?!

    But the receivable in one set of records is also a payable in the other set. And therefore, they cancel.

    However, so far as the group is concerned, the TNCA is overvalued by 20,000
