    Sir, Please consider the below:
    P holds 80% shares of S.
    P sold PPE to S and made a profit $1000.
    Depreciation for PPE is 20% p.a .
    I do know the correct treatment for this is:
    Dr. P’s Retained Earning 1000
    Cr. S’s NCA 1000
    &
    DR. S’s NCA 200
    Cr. P’s Retained Earning 200.
    (due to realisation of profit/depreciation)
    By doing this we are realising the profit made from intra-group trading.
    But the problem is we should not realising profit made from intra-group trading.
    What is the true rationale of doing this?
    Looking forward for you reply. Thank you.

    Ok, let’s deal with the NET amount of $800

    Dr P Retained Earnings 800
    Cr PPE 800

    And that’s all there is to it!

    As each year goes by, the $1,000 IS realised to the extent of $200 pa

    So in the second year, the pup adjustment will be as above but for an amount of $600

    In the third year, $400

    And so on so that after 5 years the $1,000 will have been realised

    Does that make it better?

    Thank you for your reply, and I understand what u were telling me.
    But what I do not understand is that why are we realizing it?
    Isn’t that we are not supposed to realizing the profit because it is intra-group trading?

    But over the period of the remaining asset, that profit IS realised by the parent

    I believe that you are confusing the concept of eliminating pups from the intra group sale of inventory

    In the situation of an intra group sale of PPE, the parent WILL realise the profit on the transfer over the life of the asset

    Is that ok for you?
