Hi My Dear tutor ? have two questions
Stretcher business seasonal and 60% of its annual profit is made in the period 1 January to 30 June each year.

If retained earnings brought forward were $14,000 and retained earnings for the year were $10,000, then in my calculator that means that retained earnings carried forward were $24,000
So how do you manage to arrive at $28,000?
If retained earnings for the year ended 30 June, 2015 were $10,000 and 60% of those earnings were achieved in the period 1 January, 2015 to 30 June, 2015, how do you manage to arrive at $10,000 for the post acquisition period 1 January, 2015 to 30 June, 2015?
I’m having to guess here that the date of acquisition was 1 January, 2015 because, yet again, you have failed to give me all relevant information!
