    Greetings

    I was just doing the practise questions in your website for consolidation statements part 2

    There was something saying that the company took over another during the incopration
    Therefore the markscheme says that there was no retained earnings

    I don’t exactly understand this term named incopartion..does it mean the company was newly formed so it has no retained earnings

    Incorporation of a company means the formation of the company.

    So the date of incorporation is the date the company was first formed, and therefore there were not retained earnings at that date.

    I do explain this in my free lectures on consolidations. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
