Hey, what is the accounting entries for share reduction of subsidiary by 75% , where the share capital of 75% is being refund to the respective shareholders. Previously there is an impairment loss recognise last year. The shareholding of the subsidiary is 60%. There is no consolidation as there is another ultimate holding company. Thank you

I’m not really sure that I understand the detail within the question.
Is this a subsidiary company that is reducing its share capital from 2,000 by 75% down to 500?
Is it a parent company that is reducing its holding in a subsidiary from 80% by 75% down to 60%?
What’s the significance of the impairment last year?
What is meant by the line “The shareholding of the subsidiary is 60%”?
I have asked these questions but I would not be upset if you didn’t answer them! This is a horrible question and I am not looking forward to hearing from you with the missing details.
Where have you got it from?
