Pyramid sells goods to Square at cost plus 50%. Below is a summary of the recorded activities for the year ended 31 March 20X2 and balances as at 31 March 20X2:
Parent Subsidiary
$000 $000
Sales to Subsidiary 16,000
Purchases from Parent 14,500
Included in Parent’s receivables 4,400
Included in Subsidiary’s payables 1,700On 26 March 20X2, Parent sold and despatched goods to Subsidiary, which Subsidiary did not record until they were received on 2 April 20X2. Subsidiary’s inventory was counted on 31 March 20X2 and does not include any goods purchased from Parent.
On 27 March 20X2, Subsidiary remitted to Parent a cash payment which was not received by Parent until 4 April 20X2. This payment accounted for the remaining difference on the current accounts.
What will be the entry for Bank in the consolidated statement of financial position?
I calculated $2,700 for cash-in-transit, but it’s wrong.Thanks in advance!
February 21, 2020 at 7:18 am #562576Hi,
The cash in transit is the difference between the receivable and payable account, so should be the 2,700 as you state. What is the model answer showing?
Thanks
February 21, 2020 at 10:31 pm #562683Hello,
That’s exactly what I got. However, the model answer shows that the cash in transit is $1,200.
Dr Cash $1,200 Cr Receivables $1,200Thanks again.
February 29, 2020 at 3:00 pm #563555It must be that the inventory sold is $1,500, which when recorded by the subsidiary would DR Purchases CR Payables. This increases the payables to $3,200 and the difference between the current accounts of $1,200.
Thanks
