    From the question:

    “Retained earnings/(losses) – at 1 April 2012 (4,000)”

    and, also from the question, the first sentence in note (i)

    “At the date of acquisition, Strata produced a draft statement of profit or loss which showed it had made a net loss after tax of $2 million at that date”

    So there’s the $(6,000,000)

    Note (ii) refers to the mark up that Paradigm normally charges. However, in the case of sales to Strata, Paradigm has reduced its selling price from cost + 40% to cost + 15%

    So those goods in Strata valued at $4,600,000 should really have a cost price to Strata of $5,600,000 ($4,000,000 + 15% = $4,600,000 whereas $4,000,000 + 40% = $5,600,000)

    Does that explain it for you?

    OK?
