I bet the person who wrote this question was just sitting in their cubicle, cackling maniacally, thinking 'let's see if they can figure this one out!'

That makes sense. So, $2,000,000 - $1,340,000 = $660,000. But we also need to consider the non-controlling interests of $410,000. So, $660,000 - $410,000 = $250,000. Therefore, the gain on disposal should be $590,000.

I think it's A) $590,000 because we need to calculate the gain on disposal by subtracting the net assets of PQ from the selling price to XY Group.

Oh man, this is a real brain-teaser. I sure hope I don't mess up the math and end up with the wrong answer. That would be a total 'KL' on my part.

Alright, let's see. The selling price is $2,000,000, the net assets are $1,340,000, and the non-controlling interest is $410,000. Looks like I need to do some serious number-crunching here.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. Gotta remember that goodwill is part of the investment, so it should be factored in when calculating the gain on disposal.
