Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the outside equity interest, we need to see how much of D Ltd's shares are owned by shareholders who are not part of the group. From the diagram, we see that C Ltd holds 40% of D Ltd's share capital, and B Ltd holds 20% of D Ltd's share capital. These are both part of the same group, so we need to exclude them. Therefore, the outside equity interest in D Ltd is 40% (held by A Ltd) + 20% (held by outside shareholders) = 60%. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 33.6%.
