in one question to work out the non-controlling interest in the consolidated SOFP it uses:
fair value of non-controlling interest at the acquisition date
plus NCI% x (retained earnings of subsidiary in reported date – retained earnings of subsidiary at date of acquisition)
however in another example it uses PURP and subtracts the NCI share of unrealised profit:
fair value of non-controlling interest at the acquisition date
+ NCI% x post-acquisition profit
– NCI% x unrealised profit
Q> when is it that you use the PURP, and when is it that you just use the retained earnings at reporting date – date of acquisition, and why are they different?
It depends on whether the inventory had originally been sold to the parent by the subsidiary, or to the subsidiary by the parent.
