    question 278 is section B question of BPP KIT

    What is the amount of group gross profit for the year ended 31 December 20X4?

    in the answers it shows: $404,000
    which is Port Co $364,000 and Alfred Co ($240,000 × 2/12) = $404,000

    should we not do 75% of the (240000*2/12) which gives 30000, and then adding this to PORT COs 364000, giving a total of 394000?

    Hi,

    So it looks like there is a mid-year acquisition of the subsidiary, hence why we have pro-rated the subsidiary’s profit by the 2/12. Remember that we consolidate the subsidiary 100% on a line-by-line basis and we do not adjust for the ownership percentage.

    Thanks
