    Hi,

    There is a question (Q255) on the BPP FR Revision Kit which has confused me for a while. I have had a look at the solution and I can’t seem to understand why I am wrong. The question is as follows:

    “P Ltd has owned 70% of S Ltd for many years. It also holds a £5M 7% loan note from S Ltd. One of S Ltd’s non-current assets has suffered an impairment of £50,000 during the year. There is a balance in the revaluation surplus of S Ltd of £30,000 in respect of this non-current asset. The impairment loss has not yet been recorded.

    The financial statements of S Ltd shows a profit for the year of £1.3M.
    What is the amount attributable to the Non-controlling Interest in the consolidated statement of profit or loss?”

    My issue is regarding the treatment of the £5M 7% loan note as I thought you would remove the Investment income of P (8% of £5M= £400,000) and you would also reduce the finance costs of S Ltd ( 8% of £5M). However, in the solution only the intragroup interest of £400,000 is deducted. I believed that I would deduct the investment income and then deduct the finance cost by the same amount. The final answer given in the solution is £264,000.

    Can someone please explain where I am going wrong?

    Hi,

    They are deducting the 400,000 as this is the combined total of the interest of 350,000 and the 50,000 but I am not convinced that is the correct thing to do.

    By removing the intragroup interest there is no impact on the group profit and therefore no impact on the NCI.

    The impairment has been correctly deducted but I don’t agree on deducting the intra-group amount.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Apologies for the late reply, For some reason I could not see your response.

    Thank you for that, I think I understand your explanation but I had no idea that was the way we are supposed to treat intra-group loans as it isn’t mentioned anywhere on the BPP study material. Either way at least now I know so thank you for explaining.
