group retained earning
post acquisition reservesNovember 4, 2015 at 10:00 am #280432What about them?
November 4, 2015 at 10:01 am #280433like my reporting date retained earning at acquisition date are 14300 and at reporting date are 12000
so total of net assets are at acquisition 22300 and at reporting 19900-19900+22300= -2400
so my answer of post acquisition did not match with standard answer because they have post acquisition losses of 3000
November 4, 2015 at 10:25 am #280434Is there a question in this post of yours?
November 4, 2015 at 12:52 pm #280452yes why there is difference in my post acquisition losses and what I am doing wrong in question so that makes the difference?
sorry if I didn’t explain my question well to you.
this is my first time here to ask question.November 4, 2015 at 1:19 pm #280455The loss is $4,600 for the year and the post-acquisition element of that is 6/12 = $2,300
The fair value adjustment to the leased property (note (i) in the question) means that there should be an additional charge for depreciation on the fair value increase. So $2m / 10 x 6/12 = 100,000 additional depreciation to increase that loss to $2,400
Then there’s the pup on the unsold inventory that works out to $600 and this too is to be adjusted in Southstar’s post-acquisition retained earnings and takes the figure now to $3,000 loss in the second half (the post-acquisition half) of the year
OK?
November 6, 2015 at 9:04 am #280783thank you sir I was missing the purp at reporting date 🙂
November 6, 2015 at 9:45 am #280789sir here is another qustion
cavern
$000
equity shares of 20 cents each note 1 50000(1) cavern has accounted for fully subscribed right issue of equity shares made on 1 april 2010 of one new share of every four share in issue at 42 cents each
llama
$000
equity share of 50 cents each fully paid 60000
suspense account note 4 24000(4)the suspense account contains the corresponding entry for the proceeds of right issue of share made on 1 july 2007.the term of the issue were one share for every four held at 80 cents per share.
1 for 4 is common in both questions
but it is solved differentlycavern solution llama solution
50000/.20=250000 60000/.50=120000
250000*1/5=50000 120000*1/4=30000
my question is why are we taking 1 by 4 in llama.it should be 1by 5 because if a person has four shares before issue so after issue he should have five like shown in cavern.
sir tell me what I am misunderstanding in this?November 6, 2015 at 3:21 pm #280824In Cavern the rights issue has already been correctly entered so 50,000 is AFTER accounting for the 1 for 4
In Llama the rights issue has not yet been accounted for – the correct credit entries are in the Suspense account and need to be adjusted
OK?
November 6, 2015 at 4:08 pm #280847yes ,i understood sir.the difference is that in llama it was not accounted for.thanks
