Pre acquisition R/E

Ppbtpriyantha10y ago
Dear Mr. Maike, Hi…. with reference to this lecture, When taking the pre acquisition R/E from W2 (G/W calculation). It’ comprise only of “pre acquisition R/E” and “increased portion FV” of the W2 and not taking Share premium. ….. What’s about to Revaluation reserve (or any other such reserve (if any), other than the FV increased amount…… shall we need to add them like FV increased amount? If so, The pre act R/e abstracted from W2 is : (Pre Acqt R/E)+(FV amount)+(Revaluation or other reserve) Pls explain… Thanks in advance BR, Priyantha

"With reference to this lecture ....." Which lecture? Without knowing which lecture that you're referring to, the answer to your question is "Yes, we should bring in ALL elements of shareholders' funds as at date of acquisition"

The relevant lecture is "P2 Chapter 1 Simple Groups (revision of F7 part 2)" Ok....well noted Sir, I understood as below All the shareholders fund is the total of ( Retain earning, General Reserve, Revaluation reserve and Increase in FV relevant for assets like inventory) Pls advice....
