In the below problem it is clearly mentioned that dividend is not yet provided in the books of ball ltd for the year 1999-2000, but nothing has been deducted from ball ltd profit and loss account for the current year profits?? and also in particulars of bat limited it is mentioned that On 31.7.1999 dividend at 10% was received from Ball Ltd. and was credited to Profit and Loss Account- this dividend may pertain to earlier year i.e. 1998-99 and that has already been adjusted in the profit and loss account pre acquisition profits, my doubt is why didnt they deduct proposed divident for current year i.e.1999-2000 from ball ltd profit and loss account.
