N is a wholly owned subsidiary of U. Inventories in their individual statements of financial position at the year end are shown as:
| $ | |
| U | 500,000 |
| N | 900,000 |
Sales by U to N during the year were invoiced at $70,000 which included a profit by U of 60% on sale. 50% 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 X profit margin
= $42,000
Unrealised profit = 42,000 X 50 %
Unrealised profit = $21,000
| $ | |
| U | 500,000 |
| N | 900,000 |
| Unrealised profit | (21,000) |
| Answer | 1,379,000 |
