 Net Cost = To be disclosed in Separate Financial Statements                         1,85,000

sir,

we answered for stand alone financial statement ( Seperate finanical statement)

can u pls answer me wht will be the investment amount in Bright's Consolidated financial statement 

(Assume East India Ltd is associated of Bright Ltd.)  

Apply AS-23 and answer

 

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bright Ltd as at 31.03.2010:  To be disclosed in 
accordance with AS 23 Accounting for Investment  in  Associates,  i.e.  as  per  Equity  Method  as 
follows: 
 
    Particulars 
 
  Net Cost as per Separate Financial Statements        1,85,000  
Less:    Pre Acquisition Period Reserves (Rs.30,000 × Bright Ltd’s Share 30%)   (9,000)
Add: Share of post Acquisition Period Reserves (Rs.3,00,000 × Bright Ltd’s Share 30%)     90,000  
 
Carrying Amount in Consolidated Balance sheet      2,66,000
 
 
 
Note: 1. Dividends actually received before the date of Balance Sheet should be considered. Dividends 
after the Balance Sheet date, 31.03.2010 should not be considered. 
 
 
2. It is assumed that East India Ltd did not have any other Reserves other than those earned during 
Financial Year 2008–09 and 2009–10. 
The amount of Goodwill / Capital Reserve on Consolidation is not ascertainable, since the Amount of 
Net Assets attributable to Bright Ltd is not given. 

according to me the answer for the above mention question is Rs. 260,000

Value of Investment : 2,00,000.00

Less: Pre Acu. Dividend 50,000*30% (08-09) 15,000.00

Add : Post Acu. Profits i.e from 01.06.2009 to 31.03.2010 3,00,000.00 / 12 * 10 * 30% 75,000.00

Show in CBS as per AS-23 2,60,000.00

and post profits is not Rs 3,00,000/- its 3,00,000/12*10
