Hi,
I come across a question about preparation of consolidated statement of financial position. But I don’t understand how is the PURP calculated.
Xandra acquired 1.6 million (out of 2 million) of Yale’s ordinary shares five years ago for $2.25 per share.
During the year Yale Ltd sold goods to Xandra at a mark-up of 50%. The goods cost Yale $90,000. At the year ended one-third of these goods remained in inventory.
Provision for unrealised profit (45,000 x 50/150) = (15,000)
Thanks.
If 1/3 of the goods remained in inventory, then the cost to Xandra was 1/3 x 90,000 = 30,000.
This is what Yale will have sold them for, and since they were selling at cost + 50%, then the profit included in the 30,000 is 50/150 x 30,000 = 10,000. This is the unrealised profit.
(If your book gives the unrealised profit as 15,000, then either it is wrong, or you mistyped the question (maybe 1/2 the goods remained in inventory))
I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on consolidations, because calculation of the PURP is explained, with examples.
The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
