Question

ParCorp owns 90 percent of ChiCorp. ParCorp purchased inventory from ChiCorp for $90 on August 20, 20X8, and resold 70 percent of the inventory to unaffiliated companies on December 1, 20X8, for $100. ChiCorp produced the inventory sold to ParCorp for $67. Provide the elimination entry for Dec 31, 20X8 consolidation.

Answer 1

Sale Value of Inventory Sold by subsiadiary to Parent company = $90

Cost of Inventory sold by subsiadiary to Parent company = $67

Profit on Inventory sold by subsiadiary to Parent company = $90-$67 =$23

Inventory sold = 70%

Unsold Inventory % = 30%

Sale Value of Inventory Unsold = 90*30% = $27

Cost of Inventory Unsold = 67*30% = 20.1

Unrealised Profit on Inventory unsold = 27-20.1 = $6.9
