Problem No. 1

Solution is explained below:

(i) As the acquisition has happened on 31st March 2022, i.e. on the last day of the financial year, the whole period of 12 months will be considered as pre period and hence, all the profits will be Capital in nature.

(ii) Now, the subsidiary company may be having some profits or reserves on the date of 'acquisition'. These profits and reserves have technically been earned and accumulated during the previous years and the current year and hence not earned by the Majority i.e. Sigma Ltd.

(iii) This means, all that you see on the date of acquisition i.e. General Reserves and Profit & Loss a/c will be considered as Pre elements and thereby, they will become Capital Profits. Just remember, these are the profits that have been earned by the subsidiary in the past and present, but now being acquired by the Parent Company.

1 - First box i.e. Rs.9,000/- is the total capital profits which is being acquired by the Parent Company. This amount will be considered used in computing Cost of Control.

2 - Second box represents Revenue Profits which is absent in this case as all the profits of the Subsidiary are acquired by the Parent Company on the year end.

3 - Third and Fourth box are the capital and revenue profits belonging to the non-majority (Minority). This has to be added with the non-majority share capital in the minority company to derive Minority Interest, which is Rs. 0/- in this case.
