Hi Mr. Mike, pls I need a little more clarifications on pups. The answers to d mini exercises only show the journal entries eg, dr retained earnings, Cr inventory. It doesn’t show what other adjustment may be required in d FS. Eg, questions 14 and 15 says
At 31 March 2010 P’s current account with S was $3·4 million (debit). This did not agree with the equivalent balance in S’s books due to some goods-in-transit invoiced at $1·8 million that were sent by P on 28 March 2010, but had not been received by S until after the year end. P sold all these goods at cost plus 50%. After the acquisition S sold goods to P for $40 million. These goods had cost S $30 million. $12 million of the goods sold remained in P’s closing inventory. At 30 September 2011, S’s inventory included goods bought from P (at cost to S) of $2·6 million. P had marked up these goods by 30% on cost. P’s agreed current account balance owed by S at 30 September 2011 was $1·3 million. P sells goods to S at cost plus 50%. Below is a summary of the recorded activities for the year ended 31 March 2012 and balances as at 31 March 2012: P Sales to S $’000 16,000 Included in P’s receivables 14,500 S Purchases from P $’000 4,400 Included in S’s payables 1,700 On 26 March 2012, P sold and despatched goods to S, which S did not record until they were received on 2 April 2012. S’s inventory was counted on 31 March 2012 and does not include any goods purchased from P. On 27 March 2012, S remitted to P a cash payment which was not received by P until 4 April 2012. This payment accounted for the remaining difference on the current accounts. What other adjustments will be required. Thanks.November 29, 2014 at 10:56 pm #214539Accelerate the in transit item into the records of the receiving company. That should then reconcile the current accounts.
Separately you need to calculate the pup. That gives you the adjustment in retained earnings and the deduction from closing inventory as well as the ADD BACK to cost of sales
Is that better?
