Solution

The amount of closing retained earnings for the group is $19,178.

Here are the steps to understand this:

  1. Profit for the Year: The group's profit for the year is the sum of the parent's profit and the subsidiary's profit, which is 13,030+13,030 + 920 = $13,950.

  2. Opening Retained Earnings: The group's opening retained earnings is the sum of the parent's opening retained earnings, the subsidiary's opening retained earnings, and the adjustments, which is 5,000+5,000 + 200 + 370=370 = 5,570.

  3. Transfer from General Reserve to Retained Earnings: The group's transfer from general reserve to retained earnings is the sum of the parent's transfer and the subsidiary's transfer, which is 45+45 + 60 = $105.

  4. Dividend Paid: The group's dividend paid is the sum of the parent's dividend paid and the subsidiary's dividend paid, which is 35+35 + 10 = $45.

  5. Dividend Declared: The group's dividend declared is the sum of the parent's dividend declared and the subsidiary's dividend declared, which is 12+12 + 20 = $32.

  6. Closing Retained Earnings: The group's closing retained earnings is the sum of the profit for the year, the opening retained earnings, and the transfer from general reserve to retained earnings, minus the dividend paid and the dividend declared. So, the closing retained earnings is 13,950+13,950 + 5,570 + 105105 - 45 - 32=32 = 19,178.

Therefore, the amount of closing retained earnings for the group is $19,178.
