    If retained earnings at the end of the year are $4,500 and profit for the year was $3,900, then retained earnings brought forward must have been $600

    If profit for the year is $3,900 and the acquisition date was 1 June (8 months into the current year) then the pre-acquisition element of that $3,900 is 8/12 *$3,900

    Ok?
