    “Re-at 1 July 2014-14000
    for the year ended 30 June 2015-10000

    10000*40%=4000+14000=18000 at acquistion date but will 28000 be my date of Reporting figure and Post acqusition 10000?Again confused it I am sorry.”

    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!

    🙁
