no u have to calculate the urp..and its claimed only on that inventory which is still there in the books..what is sold is sold..regarding pro rating.your reserves at acquisition will be those that the sub has on 30 june 2004 while computing goodwill.this means that whatever the question provides as reserves at the start of the year u have to add in it profit for the year into 10/12 to get to ur retained earnings at acquisition. for the post acquisition profits u have to pro rate it for 2 months..u dont have to confuse ur self here with urp..just work on the profit figures provided
