In: Accounting
Assume that a parent company acquired 80% of a subsidiary on January 1, 2014. The purchase price was $175,000 in excess of the subsidiary’s book value of Stockholders’ Equity on the acquisition date, and that excess was assigned entirely to an unrecorded Patent owned by the subsidiary. The assumed economic useful life of the patent is 10 years.
Assume that subsidiary sells inventory to the parent. The parent, ultimately, sells the inventory to customers outside of the consolidated group. You have complied the following data for the years ending 2015 and 2016 related with intra-entity inventory sales.
Inventory Sales Gross Profit Remaining in Unsold Inventory
2016 $ 103,300 $29,441
2015 $ 87,900 $19,137
The inventory not remaining at the end of the year has been sold to unaffiliated entities outside of the consolidated group. The unsold part will be sold to unaffiliated entities in the following year. The parent company applies equity method for this investment.
Subsidiary reports $216,930 as net income on its income statement for the year of 2016.
Parent Company hold 80 % of Subsidary Company.
Date of acquisition 01/01/2014
Excess paid $175,000 which has been adjusted by assigned unrecorded patent by subsidary.
Internal transaction : Inventory from subsidary to parent to outside customer
Profit on unsold inventory 2015 : $19,137
2016 : $29,441
Total Income of subsidary for 2016 = $216,930
The adjustment required in 2016 is as below:
DEBIT Sales $29,441
CREDIT Inventory $ 29,441
With this the unrealised profit will be eliminated from the Net income as well as the carrying amount of inventory at the 2016 financial statement.
Net recognized income of subsidary : 216,930 - 29,441+19,137 =206,626
Share of parent Company : 80% of 227,234 = 165,300.80
It is Upstream intra entity sales
If it is changed to down stream mean from parent to subsidary then profit calculation will be same but no need to apply %holding beacause it is in hand of controling entity (i.e Parent company ).
Profit of the parent company will reduce by whole profit on ending unsold inventory lying with subsidary.
