    Extracts of statement of financial position of both entities as at 31 March 20X2
    P S
    Current assets
    Inventory 13,900 10,400
    Trade receivables 11,400 5,500
    Bank 9,400 600

    Current liabilities 9,500 5000

    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 1,700

    On 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!

    Hi,

    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

    Hello,

    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 $1,200

    Thanks again.

    It 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
