Answer:
The remaining shares should be carried at its fair value.
In this case then, the fair value of the remaining shares = $260,000*(1-0.5) = $130,000
Explanation:
According to IFRS 3(Revised), A certain group may decide to sell its controlling interest in a subsidiary but retain significant influence in the form of an associate, or retain only a financial asset. If it does so, the retained interest is remeasured to fair value, and any gain or loss compared to book value is recognised as part of the gain or loss on disposal of the subsidiary.
