Question
A subsidiary that is 65% owned by its parent company pays a dividend of 120,000 b. 78,000 d. not eliminated
Solution
The amount to be eliminated on consolidation is the portion of the dividend that is paid to the parent company. Since the parent company owns 65% of the subsidiary, it receives 65% of the dividend.
Here's how to calculate it:
- Convert the ownership percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. So, 65% becomes 0.65.
- Multiply the dividend by the ownership decimal. So, 78,000.
Therefore, the amount to be eliminated on consolidation is 78,000.
