Why is the Profit For the year less than the Post-Acquisition profit? (Retained Profit year-end - Pre-acquisition profit)
Example, I have an associate which I own 25% of share in it and it was acquired on 1 Jan. The accounting year end is 31 Dec. There is no any dividend distribution inside this situation.
Shouldn't I get the same amount for profit for the year with the post-acquisition profit? I am having Pre-acquisition retained profit of 247, abd the year-end retained profit(31 Dec) 355, which give me a 108 post-acquisition profit. However, inside the statement, there shows that my associate is having only 104 of Profit for the year.
May I know where is the missing 4, and what are the possible reasons resulting in this scenario?
