Why the dividend paid out of pre-acquistion is not deducted from profit and loss pre-acquistion balance.

Replies (4)

Reply please its very urgent.


helppppppppp

 Dear Harish, Dividend is deducted from P/L Account if it is a preacquisition dividend and wrongly credited to P/L account. But here in question it is clearly mentioned that shares are ex-dividend hence dividend is post acquistion dividend and treated as revenue income and need not be deducted from P/L account.

On the other hand if it was Pre acquisition it must be treated as capital profit.

Actually im also looking for the answer to that problem.....The sum of Rs.20000 dividend paid out of preacquistion profits should be subtracted from preacquistion profits. And with due respect to Dhirendra Sir...only the shares issued on 31.7 are ex-dividend but what about the earlier shares??

Hence the query remains unresolved....please somebody help out
