Hi dear tutors,
Please answer my questions. Thanks in advance.
1) Brigham has owned 70% of Dorset for many years. It also holds a $5 million 8% loan note from Dorset. The entity financial statements of Dorset show a profit for the year of $1.3 million.
2) Brigham has owned 70% of Dorset for many years. It also mades a $5 million 8% loan note to Dorset. The entity financial statements of Dorset show a profit for the year of $1.3 million.
What is the amount attributable to the non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in each two options?
My answers:
1) I subtracted loan interest from the profit
$1.3 million – $5 * 8% = $0.9 million
NCI= $0.9 million * 30% = $0.27 million2) I dont do any reconcilation
NCI= $1.3 million * 30% = $0.39 millionThese are true or not?

In both situations you will need to adjust for the interest in the books of the parent and subsidiary. In the first example you’re correct to deduct the loan interest, but why have you then not added the interest income in the second? I think that you should.
Thanks
