    Dear All,
    I have stared at this q for over 3 hours! I cannot see how to calc the pre-acq div. Info provided is as follows:

    TBay – doa 1 Dec 2005
    Ord Share cap of 1$ – 120
    Reserves at doa – 80
    FV of NA at doa – 310
    Cost of Inv 216
    Ord share cap of $1 acquired: 72.

    Profit for year 31 May 2005: 15
    Profit for year 31 May 2006: 30.

    Draft income statement has been provided, but I do not think it is relevant to the div calc. It seems that the pre-acq div is $40. How is this calculated?

    I will be grateful for any help. Maybe BPP has missed out important info?
