What amount of unrealized profit was in Piemon Company's inventory at the end of 20X5?
Select one:
a. $10,000
b. $25,000
c. $50,000
d. $40,000
e. $8,000
a. $10,000
Explanation:
1. The inventory sold by Siemon to Piemon company in the year 2014
is completely sold in the year 2015. So, there will be no
unrealized profir for goods sold during the year 2014 on Dec 31
2015.
2. Unrealised profit will be calculated for intercompany transfers between holding and subsidary and remains unsold in the purchasing company inventory at the time of consolidation. If the inventory is sold to third party there will be no unrealised profit
Profit margin on goods sold during 2015 = (50,000 / 2,00,000)*100
= 25%
1/5th of goods sold in 2015 remains unsold in piemon inventory = $2,00,000/5
= $40,000
Profit margin on Unsold inventory = $40,000*25%
= $10,000
Unrealised profit on Inventory = $10,000
