hello Sirt Johnson paid $1·2 million for a 30% investment in Treem’s equity shares on 1 August 2014. Treem’s profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2015 was $750,000. On 31 March 2015, Treem had $300,000 goods in its inventory which it had bought from Johnson in March 2015. These had been sold by Johnson at a mark-up on cost of 20%. Treem has not paid any dividends. On the assumption that Treem is an associate of Johnson, what would be the carrying amount of the investment in Treem in the consolidated statement of financial position of Johnson as at 31 March 2015? A $1,335,000 B $1,332,000 C $1,300,000 D $1,410,000 I keep having this consideration 1200 post acquisition (500X30%) less PUP 300x20/120

So, you're arriving at answer C?

You have treated the pup incorrectly. You have calculated it correctly but, for an associate, you only eliminate the GROUP'S share of the pup ie the adjustment is for only 30% x $50,000 Ok?
