The following information is relevant:

(i) At the date of acquisition, the fair values of S Ltd's assets were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of an item of plant, which had a fair value of $2 million in excess of its carrying amount. It had a remaining life of five years at that date (straight-line depreciation is used). S Ltd has not adjusted the carrying amount of its plant as a result of the fair value exercise.

(ii) Sales from S Ltd to P Ltd in the post-acquisition period were $8 million. S Ltd made a markup on cost of 40% on these sales. P Ltd had sold $5.2 million (at cost) as at 30 September 2022.

(iii) Other than where indicated, profit or loss items are deemed to accrue evenly on a time basis.

(iv) S Ltd's trade receivables at 30 September 2022 include $600,000 due from P Ltd which did not agree with P Ltd's corresponding trade payable. This was due to cash in transit of $200,000 from P Ltd to S Ltd. Both companies have positive bank balances.

(v) P Ltd has a policy of accounting for any non-controlling interest at fair value. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in S Ltd at the date of acquisition was estimated to be $5.9 million. Consolidated goodwill was not impaired at 30 September 2022. 

Required:

a) Prepare the consolidated statement of profit or loss for P Ltd for the year ended 30 September 2022.                                                                                                  (15 marks)
