    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
