pls am having issues with retained earnings brought forward calculations especially when it has to do with time apportionment, e.g bpp question 39 why was the post acq retained earnings of systan 6300 in the balance sheet added to 3000 in the income statement, for date of acquisition retained earnings. Also in question 38 Bpp, also why was the 3000 of the sub skeptik not time apportioned as 9/ 12 x 3000 instead 3/12x 3000 was used? pls someone explain am getting confused about these.
for Q Hillusion (I have 2009 BPP kit, but hope it’s the same task)
3/12 is pre acquisition profit,
To calculate retained earnings for parent you should use closing RE minus opening RE. Closing is given, Opening you shoul count by opening + pre-acq profit
ok?
