    The question part c says that knott co is a subsidiary there is sales of aluminium to parent co with total sales value of 77m which is recorded in sub FS but not recorded by parent co
    I m okay with materiality and URP of 7.7m but how come the group recievables, revenue and profits are overstated ?
    How due to goods in transit group inventory is understated and group retained earnings and NCI is overstated ? As what i know is for any URP THE GROUP INVENTORY AND CONSOLIDATED RESERVE SHOULD BE REDUCED Please help

    At the reporting date:
    In K’s books – there is revenue and a receivable $77m
    In P’s books – nothing – P still needs to record a purchase and payable of $77m and inventory $77m (which is both an asset and reduction in cost of sales).

    As no adjustment has yet been made in the consolidated FS:
    Revenue is o/s $77m (inter-group trading must be eliminated) – and hence profit is overstated – hence NCI is o/s and CRE is o/s
    Receivables are o/s $77m (inter-group balances must be eliminated)
    Inventory is u/s $77-7.7

    You seem to be considering only the effect of PURP and ignoring the effects of the transaction having been omitted from P’s books.

    Thanks i cannot understand here why inventory is understated by $69.3 is it because P has not recorded the goods in transit and what is the correct treatment for URP?

    The inventory must appear somewhere at the lower of cost and NRV.

    The profit margin is 10% so the cost structure is,

    C + P = S
    90 + 10 = 100

    If sales = $77m, cost of sates (ie cost to the group) is 77 x 90/100 = $69.3m
