    Dear respected sir,

    I am little bit confused about the exam paper format for Sep 2016 exam session, I have downloaded the specimen exam paper applicable from Sep 2016 which includes:

    1- Section A -15 question each 2 marks
    2- Section B- 15 question each 2 marks
    3- Section C 2 question each 20 marks

    please guide me is it applicable only for CBE or is also applicable for paper base exams.

    Thanks

    No, you’re fine with what you’ve got

    Just be aware on the new exam format and those new style scenaria questions – 3 scenaria with 5 x 2 mark questions based on each scenaria

    Hi mike thank you for been here

    For Sept/Dec 2015 Q3a

    The fair value of Palistar and Stretcher’s shares on 2015 were $4·00 and $3·00 respectively. In addition to the share exchange

    why used 4.00 instead of 3.00 in the goodwill
    75%of 20000=15000/1000×2=6000
    6000×4.00=24000
    also Following an impairment review, consolidated goodwill is to be written down by $3 million as at 30 June 2015
    why used impairment of 3million in stretcher retained earnings rather than in the parent company

    I’ve answered this question twice already!

    What is wrong with the computers? They’re eating my replies!

    Palister is issuing 2 shares at $4 for every 5 Stretcher shares acquired

    OK?

    You can take just Palister’s share of the goodwill impairment and deduct it from consolidated retained earnings in working W3 – that’s what I would have done – and taken the nci share of the impairment to the nci calculation in working W4A

    But if you deduct the FULL impairment from Stretcher’s retained earnings and then take Palister’s share of those reduced earnings, you arrive at the same conclusion

    Try it for yourself
