      What’s the matter with the workings already shown?

      Gross margin is a percentage based on selling price so that’s 10% x $15,000 unrealised profit

      Mark up is a percentage based on cost so if it’s 25% on cost that means it’s 25/125 when applied to the sales figure and that means that the unrealised profit is 25/125 x $15,000

      OK?

      If the post acquisition activity was double the pre-acquisition activity then if we say pre-acquisition was X then post acquisition must be 2X

      Pre-acquisition was 3 months (so 3X) and post-acquisition was 9 months (so 9 * 2X ie 18X)

      Total revenue and profits is therefore 21X and pre-acquisition is 3 parts of that whereas post-acquisition is 18 parts of it

      OK?

    Hi,

    Regarding the Q1 – shouldn’t the sales value DECREASE by unrealized profit amount?

      Cancel revenue and cost of sales for the full year intra-group trade ( 12 x (30 + 25)) = 660,000 reduction in revenue and cost of sales

      Increase cost of sales by the pup (11,250 + 6,000) = 17,250

      Combined figure per question was 776,000 + 600,000 = 1,376,000

      Reduced by 660,000 intra-group trade

      Increased by 17,250 pup

      Adjusted combined cost of sales 1,376,000 – 660,000 + 17,250 = 733,250

      OK?

    question 5,
    pre acq income=x, post acq=2x
    pre acq=3month, post acq 9month
    thus 3x and 18x total denominator=21x
    total post acq income=140*18/21=$120,000
    120,000+150,000=$270,000
    minus intra trading revenue
    bought $25,000 from subsidiary,1/5 sold left=25000*4/5=20000

    270,000-20000=$250,000 but answer say $230,000, did i miss sth?

      The monthly revenue for the second six months was twice as great than for the first six months

      If monthly revenue before acquisition was “x”, then after acquisition it was “2x”

      So, for six months there was 6x worth of revenue and for six months there was 2 x 6x worth of revenue.

      For the year there was 18x worth of revenue of which 12x was in the post-acquisition period

      12/18 x 180 = 120

      Add that to the parent’s revenue and you get to 270

      Ok?
