    Gone blank, when I read the part about transfer of goods and a mark up.

    A, bought 90% of equity share Capital of B, two years ago, on 1 July 2012 when retained earnings of B stood at $12000.
    During the year A, transferred goods to B, for $45000- this figure includes a mark-up of 50% two thirds of these goods remained at inventory at the year end.
    The Balance on the current Accounts between A & B was $53000.
    Fair value on date of acquisition of Non-controlling interest $10000.
    A———————– B

    N- Current Assets
    property plant & equipment—————-240 –—– 72
    investment in B ———- ——————85 —— ——0

    Current Assets
    inventory——————– ———————22————- 48
    receivable————————————–254—————60
    cash at bank ———————————–24 —————12
    Equity
    share capital ———————————–36—————12
    retained earnings ————————- 189————– 72
    Non- C Liabilities—————————-290 ————–70
    Current Liabilities — ————— ——120————– 30

    What figure would appeared for retain earnings?

    The goods remaining in inventory were transferred at 2/3 x 45,000 = 30,000.
    The 30,000 includes unrealised profit of 50/150 x 30,000 = 10,000
    (The original cost was 20,000 but there had been a profit added of 10,000)

    The unrealised profit needs removing from the earnings of the company that transferred them – in this case A.

    Do the retained earnings are:
    A 189 – 10 = 179
    plus A’s shares of B’s post acquisition retained earnings:
    90% x (72 – 12) = 54

    So a total of 233
