    Dear Tutor
    While I was doing the BPP Revsion Kit, I had trouble with a question and I found the topic has been raised in this forum 2 years ago. The member harry1904 asked you:

    “Dear Tutor,

    Please help me check 2 questions in Revision kit F3 – BPP (2016), I think they maybe gave the wrong answer for 2 questions.

    1/ Question 26.25/ p126 Revision kit F3 – BPP (2016)

    X Co acquired 80% of the equity share capital in Y Co on 31 July 20X6. Extracts from the 2 companies’ statement of profit or loss for the year ended 30 September 20X6 were as follows:

    Revenue (X Co) = 3.4 million Cost of sales (X Co) = 1.5 million
    Revenue (Y Co) = 2.4 million Cost of sales (Y Co) = 1.8 million

    During the year ended 30 September 20X6, Y Co sold goods for $5,000 each month to X Co, at a mark up of 25%. At the end of the year X Co had 50% of these goods left in inventory.
    What is the group profit for the year ended 30 September 20X6?
    A. 1.901 million
    B. 2.001 million
    C. 2.004 million
    D. 1.904 million

    BPP’s answer:
    “unrealised profit = $1,000 for 2 months: August, September
    Total revenue = (3,400 + 400 – 10) = 3,790
    Total cost of sales = (1500 + 300 – (10+1)) = 1,789

    Group profit = 3,790 – 1,789 = 2,001 => B is his answer”

    My answer:
    “unrealised profit = $1,000 for 2 months: August, September
    Total revenue = (3,400 + 400 – 10) = 3,790
    Total cost of sales = (1500 + 300 – (10)+1) = 1,791

    Group profit = 1,999 => No corrected answer in this question”

    You confirmed that his answer was right and BPP made a mistake. However, according to what I’ve learned, when a subsidiary sells goods to the parents, the unrealised profit should be split between the parents and NCI, as the result, the profit of subsidiary to be consolidated should be 800 (80% x 1000) instead of the total amount of 1000.

    Am I right? Could you please give me an explanation of this problem if my point is wrong? Thank you

    You are not right.

    For the group profit, we add the whole of the PURP to the cost of goods sold, and so the correct profit is indeed 1,999, regardless of which of the two companies sold the goods to the other.

    I think what you are confusing it with is that separately we then show who this profit is attributable to.

    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.

    I have just realised that the question in the kit asked for “group gross profit”, so is this the reason that the profit is not separated between the part attributable to owners of parents and the NCI?
