Hello Mr Chris,
In The following example from kaplan text book,the overall difference of depreciation from the transfer of the plant should be $1000,why in their treatment to this problem the $ 1000 appeared twice ,one time in the consolidated R.E and another in Subsidiary R.E ,how is that?
Thanks

P acquired 80% of S a number of years ago. P transferred an item of
plant to S for $6,000 on 1 January 20X1. The plant originally cost P
$10,000 and had an original useful life of 5 years when purchased 3
years ago. The useful life of the asset has not changed as a result of the
transfer.What is the unrealised profit on the transaction and how should this
be treated within the financial statements at 31 December 20X1?
Solution
Without

With
transfer Difference
$ $ $
Cost 10,000
Depreciation (3 years) (6,000)
––––––
Carrying amount 4,000 6,000 2,000
Depreciation (1/2) (2,000) (3,000) (1,000)
–––––– –––––– ––––––
Carrying amount 2,000 3,000 1,000

The overall adjustment would be $1,000 at the reporting date, comprising
$2,000 of initial profit less $1,000 of excess depreciation. To adjust the
financial statements using standard workings:Dr Consolidated retained earnings (W5) $2,000
Cr Property, plant and equipment (on SFP) $1,000
Cr Subsidiary earnings (W2 Reporting date column) $1,000
The impact of the subsidiary earnings adjustment above in W2 is that
non-controlling interest will be credited with $200 (20% × $1,000) and
consolidated retained earnings will be credited with $800 (80% × $1,000).If S had sold the plant to P, then the adjustment would have been:
Dr Subsidiary earnings (W2 Reporting date column) $2,000
Cr Property, plant and equipment (on SFP) $1,000
Cr Consolidated retained earnings (W5) $1,000
The impact of the subsidiary earnings adjustment above in W2 is that
non-controlling interest will be debited with $400 (20% × $2,000) and
consolidated retained earnings will be debited with $1,600 (80% ×
$2,000). - AuthorPosts
