    Extracts from the trial balance of Subsidery show share capital of $100,000 consisting of
    ordinary shares of $0.50 each. Of these Pull bought 150,000 shares on 1
    September 2014, for the sum of $400,000 when the reserves stood at $200,000
    and the fair value of its shares was $1 each.

    Given this information, I tried to work out the investment at cost of CI and NCI. But that is me trying this question is for consolidated statement of profit and loss, not sure if the givens are enough.

    investment at cost
    CI $400,000
    NCI $50,000 (50,000 shares $1 each fair value)
    I used the fair value of the share for the NCI part.

    I am asking you if my figure of NCI is correct, if so how the NCI can get the benefit to buy the share of subsidiary at price lower than what CI paid and share the GW on their percentage.

    thank you very much Sir

    Hi,

    I think you’re trying to over complicate things here. The cost is the amount paid of £400,000 and this appears in the goodwill calculation.

    Thanks
