IDEAL MINORITY INTEREST
The minority interest ideally is entitled to the profit after tax in minority interest. However due to consolidation, the profits of the subsidiary company should be adjusted first before getting their share. Care should also be taken especially if the subsidiary company has issued preference share capital and the minority interst owns part of this.
The computation will therefore be carried out as follows:
