Inter company loans and inter co dividends

Here's the link where I work through the entire question Pandar in the video If you still have a problem after you've watched the video, by all means come back to me https://opentuition.com/acca/f7/acca-f7-december-2009-question-1-pandar/

Okay thanks. Salva is providing the loan to Pandar, therefore Salva has to pay interest to Pandar right ?

"Salva is providing the loan to Pandar" I'm struggling yet again with your expressions What do you mean "providing the loan"? Let's put it simply ... here's the extract from the question "Immediately after its acquisition of Salva, Pandar invested $50 million in an 8% loan note from Salva." Now, who is providing the loan to whom? Please tell me .... because I simply cannot work out what goes through your mind when you write "Salva is providing the loan to Pandar"

Pandar loans to Salva. That means Salva is borrowing right ?

PANDAR DECEMBER 2009, For the post acq reserves of Salva, why we don't have to include the Retained earnings ? In the video, for the post acq reserves of Salva, you just took 9500 -500 =9000 . Why you didn't include the retained earnings at post acq ?

9,500 is the post acquisition share of 21,000 Does that answer it for you?

Yes. Okay for the finance cost calculation it is given as. Pandar 1800 Salva post acquisition ((3000-2000)×6/12+2000) 2500 Intragroup interest (2000) Total finance cost 2300 I dont understand the second line, that says "Salva post acquisition". Why we must minus 2000 from 3000? We added 2000 because of the interest on the loan note in the second half of the year right?

salva finance cost per question 3,000 But 2,000 of that is intra-group So oly 1,000 is "normal Time apportion that 1,000 = 500 pre-acquisition and 500 post acquisition Pandar's own finance costs 1.800 Therefore finance costs for the consolidation 1,800 (P) and 500 (S)

So the answer key is wrong ? The consolidated finance cost given is 2300. But if i take 1800 +500 - 2000intragroup interest = 300 In the answer key, it is stated as Salva post acquisition ((3000-2000)×6/12+2000)= 2500 Why did they minus 2000 intragroup interest and then add back 2000 ??

Oh gosh. I actually already got the correct answer. Sorry . Ignore the last thread.

Two minutes of applied thought could have resulted in you not having wasted time with two posts and me not having wasted time reading those posts!
