N is a wholly owned subsidiary of U. Inventories in their individual statements of financial position at the year end are shown as:
| $ | |
| U | 300,000 |
| N | 700,000 |
Sales by U to N during the year were invoiced at $70,000 which included a profit by U of 50% on cost. 80% of these goods were included in inventories at the year end.
At what value should inventories appear in the consolidated statement of financial position?
Suggested solutions:
Working
Profit of the inter company sales = Sales / (1 + profit margin /100) * profit margin
= $23,333
Unrealised profit = 23,333 X 80 %
Unrealised profit = $18,667
| $ | |
| U | 300,000 |
| N | 700,000 |
| Unrealised profit | (18,667) |
| Answer | 981,333 |
