I am revising question 47 (Memo) from BPP Revision kit for exams up to June 2014. In translating net assets they converted Share capital, Share Premium and Pre-acquisition retained earnings at acquisition rate (2.5). Then Post-acquisition retained earnings it is a balancing figure ($17.6; 15.8 CR). How they arrived at this figure?
Sir, we split only if the Q require to show translation of exchange difference, then we use post-acquisition x average rate and balancing to exchange gain/loss. do we need to translate the full balance sheet? it’s a bit time consuming and both given the same answer. can we just do direct from net assets?
