    Hello,

    What is the double entry for group profit or loss on disposal of investment previously held?

    Example

    Had an initial investment of 30% and has later acquired an additional 40% of the sub’s equity

    CV of 30% = $4.9
    FV of 30% = $6.5

    1. We de- recognized the previously CV

    Dr Disposal Account $4.9
    Cr Investment $4.9

    2. We recognize the new investment @ FV
    Dr goodwill $6.5
    Cr Disposal account $6.5

    3. I think the balancing figure is on the DR side and hence a loss on disposal, is that correct?

    Thanks

    Dr Inv 1.6 Cr P&L or OCI (if irrevocable election) 1.6

    Then consolidate.
