    Dear Sir,

    Understand unrealised profit for inter-related trading need to be removed. Yet I have no clue of this question. Kindly advice.

    Swing purchased 80% of Cat’s equity. Swing sold goods which costs $80,000 to Cat, at an invoiced cost of $100,000, Cat had 50% of the goods still in inventory at the year end. Here are the figures in both statement:

    P&L Statement:
    Revenue: Sewing: $5,000,000; Cat :$1,000,000.
    Cost of Sales: Sewing:$2,900,000; Cat:$600,000

    Financial Position Statement
    Inventory Sewing: $500,000; Cat:$120,000

    Answer of Consolidated P&L Statement:
    Revenue: $5,000,000+$1,000,000-$100,000=$5,900,000 (I can understand this part)
    Cost of Sales: $2,900,000+$600,000-$100,000 +$10,000 =$3,410,000
    (Sir, I don’t quite understand the answer. My understanding is that at Group level to remove cost of $800,000 and at Subsidiary level to remove half of the inventory of $50,000, after that add back double deducted cost of $40,000.
    i.e. $$2,900,000-$80,000+$600,000-$50,000 + $40,000=$3,410,000 Is it correct?

    Answer of Consolidated Financial Position Statement:

    Inventory : $500,000 + $120,000-$10,000 (why need to minus unrealised profit of $10k)

    Thank you!

    Your understanding is wrong, and I do suggest that you watch my lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    In the Consolidated Statement of profit or loss, we remove both the sales and purchases between group companies – in this case a total of 100,000 (the amount invoiced from Swing to Cat). This in itself does not affect the total profit of the group because sales and purchases are both being reduced by the same amount.

    We also then adjust for the unrealised profit. The profit accounted for by Swing was 20,000, and since 50% of the goods remained in inventory then 50% of this profit (i.e. 10,000) is unrealised profit.

    Again, you really should watch my lectures 🙂
