Polestar December 2013 Intra Group Trasnfer PUP

Sseanog9110y ago
Is my logic and Journal entry correct? This is from the December 2013 Q1 exam paper. Parent sells to Subsidiary at 4 million so I want to eliminate this : Dr COS 4000 Cr Rev 4000 For unrealised profit the subsidiary is selling back to the parent: 9000-4000(already reversed out)= 5000 5000 - 1400(incurred cost) = 3600 The inventory left in the subsidiary's warehouse is 1/6 (3600/9000) Unrealised profit 600 Dr COS 600 Cr Inventory 600 Cheers

This entry "Parent sells to Subsidiary at 4 million so I want to eliminate this : Dr COS 4000 Cr Rev 4000" has made it worse - your debits and credits are the wrong way round! Reading on, your entire answer is not even close. Write out the full question about the intra-group activities and I'll get back to you. Meanwhile, after you've typed out the question, go and empty your mind of any lingering pre-conceptions because they're most likely wrong!

Ok Mike. Please see the question below. "Polestar transferred raw materials at their cost of $4 million to Southstar in June 2013. Southstar processed all of these materials incurring additional direct costs of $1·4 million and sold them back to Polestar in August 2013 for $9 million. At 30 September 2013 Polestar had $1·5 million of these goods still in inventory. There were no other intra-group sales." Maybe i am starring at this questions to long!!

So, of the $9 million, $3.6 million is profit ie 40% profit With $1.5 million still in inventory and 40% gross profit percentage, that gives us a pup of $600,000 Adjustments necessary are: Cancel the first sale: Dr revenue $4 Cr cost of sales $4 Cancel second sale Dr revenue $9 Cr cost of sales $9 Adjust for pup in Southstar Dr cost of sales $600,000 Cr combined inventory $600,000 I believe that completes it!
