Please , Chris I won’t bug you with much of the qurstion from Kaplan kit . But here is purp calculation that I don’t known how kaplan got the answer to be $2m .
From the note in the questions :
Offspring ( subsidiary ) sold goods for $15m in the post acq period. $5m of these goods are included in the inventory of the Parentis(parent) at 31 March 2007( end period). The profit made by Offspring on these sales was $6.
Please , how do they arrive at $2 as purp because it is said that the profit made by the subsidiary (Offspring) was $6m.
Thanks in advance .

PURP
7y ago#1Hi,
The PURP is calculated based upon the goods held in inventory at the reporting date. If $5m out of $15m are still held then 5/15 of the $6m profit is the PURP, i.e. $2m.
Thanks
