    sir,
    I have a doubt from kaplan question.
    page no. 85.
    a loss on fair value through other comprehensive income financial assets for the year $100.
    in solution, they are dividing this loss of 100 between NCI and parent.
    but they didnt explicitly said that 100 is loss of subsidary. why they are assuming that it is a loss of FV of an asset of subsidary. how can we judge?

    Hi

    I’m sure I have answered this once before – probably I didn’t hit “send”

    In answer ( again ) to your question – I have no idea! It seems to me that there is probably some integral piece of information inadvertently omitted from the question!

    Sorry

    But, remember, don’t shoot the messenger!

    Hi

    Time apportionment of “this year’s” subsidiary profits in order to find the correct value of net assets at date of acquisition. In addition, because we are only consolidating 2 months of the subsidiary’s results, we shall only give the nci their share of 2 months’ profits / losses.

    In the exam, it is almost certainly going to be the case that Steve Scott gives you a question with an acquisition part way through the year – so get used to it!

    If the loan note is given to the shareholders of the subsidiary whose shares we are now acquiring, then, yes, it should be included. It’s part of the fair value of the consideration being paid to acquire control.

    If the loan note is merely a loan to or from the subsidiary, it will be an asset in one balance sheet and a liability in the other. That loan note is cancelled on consolidation
