robbe1 If the stake is bought with cash, total assets stays at $19k.
turtle exactly :-)
raner why? will the CA(Cur Asset) account be reduced by the cash paid out?
katybo I think so
ilzina if investor company obtains additional funds by issuing new shares, the assets of investor go up by 1k. so 20k -1k (payment) + 30% x5k = 20.5k
