ParCorp owns 90 percent of ChiCorp. ParCorp purchased inventory from ChiCorp for $90 on August 20, 20X8, and resold 70 percent of the inventory to unaffiliated companies on December 1, 20X8, for $100. ChiCorp produced the inventory sold to ParCorp for $67. Provide the elimination entry for Dec 31, 20X8 consolidation.
Solution :-
Here parcorp owns 90 % of chicorp
Parcorp = Parent company
Chicorp = Subsidiary company
When subsidiary sold inventory to parent company than it is a upstream sale
For subsidiary company
Sales = $90
Cost = $67
Profit = $23
profit on sales = $23*100/$90 = 25.56 %
Unsold stock with parent company = $ 90 *30 % = $27
So, unrealised profit on unsold stock = $ 27* 25.56 % = $6.9
Hence the elimination entry for Dec 31 , 20X8 consolidation is
Cost of goods sold A/c Dr $6.9
To Inventory A/c Cr $6.9
( elimination of unreailsed profit)
