    Dear tutor,

    As per your lectures , I proceeded to calculate the G/L on investment in Question 1 of Sep/Dec 2015 Bubble question.

    368/8 = 46
    368/9.5 = 38.7

    Difference = Loss $7.3m, but I cannot see where this figure has been accounted for in their Consolidated accounts?

    I separately did workings for Ex G/L attributable to both P & NCI and I am glad to say it was al most identical to their answer – deducted from NCI and translation reserve and impairment in P from GRE, so thank you.

    Many thanks in advance

    Hi,

    The method that I use is different to what is used by the examiner, so you wouldn’t get the same answer.

    thanks

    Please explain because I am lost now.

    Only one answer can be correct right?

    But please explain how I account for Loss $7.3m?

    Otherwise I will get to the exam and feel like i do not know what to do

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    No both answers can be correct as the accounts will still balance. The loss we calculate is shown through group reserves.

    Thanks
