A parent sells land to its 80%-owned subsidiary at a gain of
$100,000. The following year, the subsidiary sells the land to an
outside entity for a gain of $10,000.
How is the noncontrolling interest in net income affected in the
year the subsidiary sells the land?
Select one:
A. Increase of $20,000
B. Decrease of $22,000
C. Decrease of $2,000
D. No effect
Answer:
The answer is B)
Decrease of $22,000
Explanation:
Parents and subsidiary may sell non-current asset s to each other, resulting i n a profit being recorded in the selling ent ity's financial statements.
If these non- current assets are still held by the purchasing entity at the y ear-end, the profit is unrealised from the gr oup’s perspective and should be removed.
The NCI calculation would include an adjustment to reduce the subsidiary's profit by $100,000 to eliminate the profit on disposal of the intra-group transfer.
The NCI would be decreased by $100,000*20% = $20,000 and the gain on disposal $10,000*20% = $2,000
The NCI would be decreased by = $20,000 + $2,000 = $22,000
