Answer 1

To calculate the amount in the group statement in terms of equity holding of the parent, we need to consider the percentage of each subsidiary that is owned by the parent company.

1. Equity holding of the parent in Croc Ltd: 100% (since it is a subsidiary)
2. Equity holding of the parent in Rovaldo Ltd: 65%
3. Equity holding of the parent in Apple Ltd: 65% (since it is controlled by Rovaldo Ltd, in which Able Ltd has a 65% equity holding)
4. Equity holding of the parent in Vodacom: 35% (since Able Ltd has significant influence)
5. Equity holding of the parent in White's Shareholdings (a joint venture): 50% (since Croc Ltd has an equity holding of 50%)

Please note that the question does not provide any information about the equity holding of the parent in Able Ltd itself, so we cannot determine that value.
