I don't know what you mean by W5 and W2 :-) The unrealised profit in inventory is always subtracted from the group inventory in the consolidated SOFP. If the goods had been sold from the parent to the subsidiary then the PURP is subtracted from the retained earnings of the parent when we come to consolidate. If the goods had been sold from the subsidiary to the parent, then the PURP is subtracted from the retained earnings of the subsidiary when the come to consolidate. Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
