INTERCOMPANY PROFIT TRANSACTIONS — INVENTORIES
Answers to Questions
1 Profits and losses on sales between affiliates are realized for consolidated statement purposes when the
purchasing affiliate resells the merchandise to parties outside of the consolidated entity If all merchandise sold to affiliates is resold to outside parties in the same period, there will be no unrealized profit to eliminate in preparing the consolidated financial statements
2 Gross profit, rather than net profit, is the concept that should be used in computing unrealized inventory
profits according to GAAP
3 The amount of unrealized profit to be eliminated in the preparation of consolidated financial statements is
not affected by the existence of a noncontrolling interest All unrealized profit must be eliminated In the case of upstream sales, however, the unrealized profit should be allocated between controlling and noncontrolling interests
4 The elimination of intercompany sales and purchases does not affect consolidated net income This is
because equal amounts are deducted from sales and cost of sales and the net effect on consolidated net income is nil The importance of the elimination lies in a correct statement of consolidated sales and cost of sales
5 Consolidated working capital is not affected by the elimination of intercompany accounts receivable and
accounts payable balances Since equal amounts are deducted from current assets and current liabilities, the effect on the computation "current assets less current liabilities" is nil
6 Upstream sales are sales from subsidiary to parent Downstream sales are sales from parent to subsidiary
The importance of this designation lies in the fact that the profit or loss on such transactions is the selling affiliate's profit or loss In the case of unrealized profit or loss on downstream sales, all the profit or loss is assigned to the parent-seller But unrealized profit or loss on upstream sales is profit or loss of the subsidiary-seller and is assigned to the parent and noncontrolling interest in relation to their proportionate holdings
7 Yes If unrealized profits are not eliminated at year end, consolidated net income will be overstated in
2011 The ending inventory of one year becomes the beginning inventory of the next year, and unrealized profits in the beginning inventory will understate consolidated net income in 2012 The analysis of the effect of unrealized inventory profits on consolidated net income is basically the same as the analysis for inventory errors Like inventory errors, errors in eliminating unrealized profits are self-correcting over any two accounting periods Consolidated net income for 2013 is unaffected
8 The noncontrolling interest share is affected by upstream sales if the merchandise has not been resold by
the parent to outside parties by the end of the accounting period This is because the noncontrolling interest share is based on the income of the subsidiary If the subsidiary has unrealized profit from intercompany sales, its realized income will be less than its reported income The noncontrolling interest share should be based on the realized income of the subsidiary
Trang 2sales to subsidiaries in accordance with the one-line consolidation concept The parent reduces its investment and investment income accounts for the full amount of the unrealized profits in the year of intercompany sale When the goods are sold to outside parties by the subsidiary, the profits of the parent are realized and the parent increases its investment and investment income accounts
10 Combined cost of goods sold is overstated when there are unrealized profits in the beginning inventory and
understated when there are unrealized profits in the ending inventory The elimination of unrealized profits
in the beginning inventory reduces (credits) cost of goods sold and the elimination of unrealized profits in the ending inventory increases (debits) cost of goods sold
11 The effect of unrealized profits on consolidated cost of goods sold is not affected either by a noncontrolling
interest or by the direction of the intercompany sales All unrealized profit from both upstream and downstream sales is eliminated from consolidated cost of goods sold
12 Unrealized profit in the beginning inventory is reflected in an overstatement of cost of sales and is
eliminated by reducing (crediting) cost of sales and debiting the investment account if a correct equity method has been used and the intercompany sales are downstream In the case of upstream sales, cost of sales is credited and the noncontrolling interest and the investment account are debited proportionately
13 There are two equally good approaches for computing noncontrolling interest share when there are
unrealized profits from upstream sales in both beginning and ending inventories One approach is to compute realized income of the subsidiary by adding unrealized profits in the beginning inventory to reported subsidiary net income and deducting unrealized profits in the ending inventory The noncontrolling interest share is then equal to the realized income of the subsidiary multiplied by the noncontrolling interest percentage
The other approach is to compute the noncontrolling interest percentage in reported subsidiary net income, in unrealized profits in beginning inventory, and in unrealized profits in ending inventory Noncontrolling interest share is then computed by adding the noncontrolling interest percentage in unrealized profits in the beginning inventory to the noncontrolling interest share of reported income, and subtracting the noncontrolling interest percentage relating to the unrealized profits in the ending inventory
14 The assumption that unrealized profits in an ending inventory are realized in the succeeding period is a
convenience, but it does not result in incorrect measurements of consolidated net income as long as the unrealized profits at any statement date are correctly determined This is because any unrealized profits in beginning inventory that are considered realized are credited to cost of sales The same items will appear as unrealized profits in the ending inventory if they remain unsold, and the elimination of these items results
in debiting cost of sales for the same amount Thus, the workpaper effects are offsetting as illustrated in the following workpaper entries, which assume $5,000 unrealized profits from downstream sales
