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
Gain on ‘disposal’.
Dr Inv 1.6 Cr P&L or OCI (if irrevocable election) 1.6
Then consolidate.
