N is a wholly owned subsidiary of U. Inventories in their individual statements of financial position at the year end are shown as:
| $ | |
| U | 900,000 |
| N | 700,000 |
Sales by U to N during the year were invoiced at $40,000 which included a profit by U of 90% on cost. 20% 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
= $18,947
Unrealised profit = 18,947 X 20 %
Unrealised profit = $3,789
| $ | |
| U | 900,000 |
| N | 700,000 |
| Unrealised profit | (3,789) |
| Answer | 1,596,211 |
