    Hi,

    Can someone please explain how group retained earnings is worked out?

    I understand where the first three lines come from:

    100% P . 110
    Add: 60% x 40 24
    Add: 90% x 10 9

    But the next two lines, I can’t figure out:

    Change in ownership . (1)
    Change in ownership . 6.4

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    I’m just working on an errata for the workbook.
    I think the 1 is correct but the 6.4 should be 7.

    Relevant journals
    Hulme
    Dr NCI 14 – this is 10/40×56
    Dr RE (Bal) 1
    Cr Cash 15
    Jones
    Dr Cash 35
    Cr NCI 28 – this is 20/10 x 14
    Cr RE (bal) 7
    So the final NCI is 13 plus 1 plus 28 = 42 (not 42.6)

    Does that make sense?
