Question

Pot Co. holds 90% of the common stock of Skillet Co. During 2013, Pot reported sales of $1,120,000 and cost of goods sold of $840,000. For this same period, Skillet had sales of $420,000 and cost of goods sold of $252,000. Included in the amounts for Skillet's sales were Skillet's sales of merchandise to Pot for $140,000. There were no sales from Pot to Skillet. Intra-entity sales had the same markup as sales to outsiders. Pot still had 40% of the intra-entity sales as inventory at the end of 2013. What are consolidated sales and cost of goods sold for 2013

Answer 1

Answer:

The Consolidated Sales are $1,400,000. Whereas, the Consolidated Cost of Sales is $974,400.

Explanation:

The effect of Intra-Group Trading must be removed from the Consolidated Financial Statements. Two adjustments are required:

1st one - The Subsidiary has made Sales of $140,000 to Parent Company. It must be removed from the Accounts because it is like you are telling your Right Side Pocket that you will soon be having money because you have made Sales to Left Side Pocket. So, Debit the Sales and Credit the COS.

2nd one - The unrealized Profit should be added back to the Cost of Goods Sold to remove the effect of Profit gained by the Seller. We are not concerned with the Profit effect in the Goods Sold by Pot Co. to outsiders because it is a realized profit. The matter of concern here is the Profit effect in the unsold Inventory. Pot Co. has 56,000 (140,000 * 40%) stock in-hand. It has Profit Figure of 40%. So, $22,400 (56,000 * 40%) has been added back to Cost of Sales.
