Share for share exchange

Dear mike (unfortunately you might be hearing from me quite a bit until March, please do forgive me) I was reading the notes and came across the share for share notes at the end of Chapter 8. Total value of investment - $55,500. However total consideration for acquisition: 6000 33000 14400 Plus NCI invest - 2500 = 55900? There is an extra $400 in my calculation. Do you know where I have gone wrong? Many thanks

Hi Candy (not eye-candy!) Thanks for this. This error has been in the notes since time immemorial and I keep meaning to correct it. You're right - it should be $55,900 I've made a note of it this time on my schedule for corrections next time the notes are reviewed. Thanks again
