    note 3 says sales were 1600 to square: why used 1500 in calculting your pup n the current account balances?

      Sales from P to S were $16,000 and P had correctly recorded that. However, the goods were still in-transit and had not arrived at S, which means S’s accounts lagged behind by exactly the amount of this last unrecorded purchase which has to be $1,500 since then by adding it to S’s current balance of $14,500, they will have recorded the same amount i.e. $16,000.

      But as the question mentions “S’s inventory was counted on 31 Mar 2012 and DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY GOODS purchased from Pyramid” anymore I would add, since they were all sold out. Thus, the PURP will be calculated only on the new goods that were received on the 4 Apr 2012, i.e. the $1,500 goods-in-transit.

      Hope that answers your question.

    I’m sorry this might be a stupid question but I really didn’t understand, from point no.3, why only $1500 was accounted for pup! There’s no mention of selling the rest $14500 goods that I might assume only $1500 left in inventory to be dealt with. So, if Square didn’t sell any of the $16000 goods purchased, why should we not calculate the pup on full amount but only on $1500?

    And that you calculated the cost of investment, on g/w section, exploring share and share premium separately taking the 80% of Square’s share owned by P, why doesn’t the same method work with the examples in the course note? Example 1 of chapter 9 from the course note for an instance.
    Please spend a few minutes and explain these two issues briefly when you’re free. Please

    Look at the question, note 3. You see how it says “Sales to Square 16,000″ and “Purchases from Pyramid 14,500″?

    Does that answer your question?

    It’s even explained for you in the two lines after the table of figures: “On 26 March 2012, Pyramid sold and despatched goods to Square, which Square did not record until they were received on 2 April 2012″

    Clear now?
