Loss to the group in part (a) is $3m, but when the group retained earnings are calculated a gain of $7m is taken? why? shouldn’t a loss of $3m be included?

Group retained earnings are calculated as “H’s own + H’s share os S post-acq retained – goodwill impaired since acquisition (just our share)”

“H’s own” means H’s retained earnings after the includsion of profit on disposal in H’s own records

OK?
