Consolidated retained earnings:
 Paradigms retained earnings (19,200+7400)                       26,600
 Stratas post acq profit(11,200*75%)                          8,400

The adjusted  post acq profit of strata are:
 As reported for the year        8000

 Gain on equity investment

 On fv of plant(3000*6/12).     500

My question is this:
 Why is pre acq losses of 2,000 added to the profits for the year and how is the 2000 losses calculated.
I think there is a recording of my answer to this question where I have explained the calculation of the retained earnings at date of acquisition!
