Query: Sir ye loan wali adjustment as a lease transaction treat nahi hogi? Annuity ka formula lagae 4 million ki 5 monthly installments give PV of 14.42 aur second year ka interest 2.54 M ban raha? Please explain 

Response: No. We must not assume it to be lease transaction without any indication. It is simply a loan that will be paid in installments. And installment of Rs. 4 million does not include interest, so it would not result in correct present value.

Query: Sir in adjustment 1, Apne 11 Q liya or 25 Q nhi??

Response: We used Rs. 11 per share for calculation of NCI as NCI relates to subsidiary. Therefore, subsidiary's share value is relevant (not parent's). Also Rs. 25 was incorrectly mentioned in this question and was corrected in ICAP study text (Chapter 12 Page 652 / Example 65) subsequently.

Query: Sir Parent gave the shares as the consideration, so shouldn't the amount of share capital increase in SOFP?  Since the entry goes like. Dr. Investment Cr. Share capital

Response: Yes your proposed entry is correct but there is no need to take extra effects of this entry because investment (and effect in share capital) is already recorded in the data given in the question (information (i) is just given to separate the investment in subsidiary from other investments).


Query: Sir second adjustment mein yehe assume kiya ha ke impairment date of acquisition pe book ki ha parent aur subcidary ne
