I make it £212,500
800,000 shares @ .25 = £200,000 +£140,000 reserves = £340,000
Controlling interest is 500,000 of 800,000 shares
so value of non controlling interest
500,000/800,000*£340,000 = £212,5000 -
125000 is only Cropthornes investment (500 x .25)
you need to work out the percentage that Cropthorne owns of Fladbury Ltd and the percentage that they do not own is the non-controlling interest.0 -
The answer is £127,500...but how?0

Sorry the last line of my first calculation is wrong
The total value is £340,000, but non controlling interest is
300,000/800,000*£340,000 = £127,500.0
