Alpha Company owns 80 percent of the voting stock of Beta Company. Alpha and Beta reported the following account information from their year-end separate financial records: Alpha Beta Inventory $95,000 $88,000 Sales Revenue 800,000 300,000 Cost of Goods Sold 600,000 180,000 During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000. As of year-end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. Problem 5-5 (Static) (LO 5-2, 5-3) What is the total for consolidated inventory? Multiple Choice $173,000 $175,000 $143,000 $183,000
% profits Alpha charge to other customers = ($800,000 - $600,000) / $800,000 = 25% of sales
Stock held at year end by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $100,000 X 40%
=$40,000
Profit involved in stock held by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $40,000 X 25%
= $10,000
So Value of stock of Beta = $88,000 - $10,000 = $78,000
Hence, Total for consolidated inventory = $95,000 + $78,000 = $173,000
Option A is correct.
