    Deduct 60,000 from 124,000 to find retained earnings brought forward from last year. Then find how much of the 60,000 this year was achieved pre-acquisition

    We’re trying to eliminate the PROFIT, not the cost of the sales …. so the calculation of 26,000 x .3 is correct

    Yes ….. except we very rarely use “70/100”

    70/100 is the COST of the intra-group inventory

    What we are trying to eliminate is the unrealised profit in inventory so we would use the fraction 30/100

    So that’s why it’s 30/100 x 26,000

    All clear?
