Example 2

Investment in associate

Pan purchased 40% of Apollo’s share capital at a total cost of $5 million on
1 January 20X6, at which date the balance on Apollo’s retained earnings was
$3.6 million.

At 30 June 20X6 the balance on Apollo’s retained earnings was $4.2 million
and Pan’s investment in Apollo had become impaired by $150,000.

During June 20X6 Pan sold goods to Apollo for $600,000 on which it made a
mark-up of 20%. At 30 June 20X6 one quarter of these goods remained in
Apollo’s inventory.
