Hi, may I know why the unrealised profit does not require time apportionment?
Ask the Tutor ACCA PM
Question 252 BPP
4y ago#1The unrealised profit is never time-apportioned. It is the profit that has been charged by the selling company on sales to the other company but has not been realised because the inventory has not been sold externally and so the group as a whole has not made the profit.
However none of this is relevant for Paper PM (and question 252 in the Paper PM Revision Kit is not the question that you refer to).
I think you must be meaning paper FA or Paper FR, and this is all explained in our free lectures for Paper FA and Paper FR.
