SOLUTION OF C.. AS GIVEN ABOVE, WE WILL FIRST CALCULATE THE BOOK VALUE AS ON 31/12/2017 OF EQUIPEMENT IN THE BOOKS OF SHIEK.
2015 |
2016 |
2017 |
2018 |
|
OPENING BALANCE | $4,20,000 | $3,36,000 | $2,52,000 | $1,68,000 |
LESS- DEPRICIATION | $84,000 | $84,000 | $84,000 | $84,000 |
CLOSING BALANCE | $3,36,000 | $2,52,000 | $1,68,000 | $84,000 |
TO CALCULATE THE CONSOLIDATED GAIN, WE WOULD FIRST FIND GAIN AS PER SHIEK'S BOOK
VALUE OF EQUIPENT IN BOOKS AS ON 31/12/2018 = $84,000
LESS- SALE VALUE = $3,00,000
(PROFIT)/ LOSS =$2,16,000.
"GAIN REPORTED BY SHIEK WILL BE $2,16,000"
AS THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNT ARE CONSOLIDATED THE GAIN ARISED IN BOOKS OF PEARL INDUSTRIES WILL HAVE TO BE ELIMINATED FROM THE GAIN ARISED BY SHEIK ON SALE OF EQUIPEMENT.
THE GAIN ARISED BY PEARL INDUSTRY IS BOOK VALUE LESS VALUE AT WHICH SOLD TO SHIEK
=$3,60,000 - $4,20,000 = $60,000.
AS THE VALUE OF EQUIPEMENT IN SHIEK LIMITED IS OVER-RATED BECAUSE $60,000 IS UNREALISED GAIN IN CONSOLIDATED GAIN. THE AMOUNT OF GAIN ARISED BY SHIEK WILL BE REDUCED BY UNREALISED GAIN BY PEARL INDUSTRIES
"THEREFORE AMOUNT OF CONSOLIDATED GAIN WILL BE
= $2,16,000 - $60,000
= $1,56,000"
