unrealised profit for consolidated statement
4y ago#1Given that the profit is 30% of cost, it is 30/130 times the selling price.
Haba sold the inventory to Zara at a price of $5.2M, and therefor the unrealised profit is 30/130 x $5.2M = $1.2M
Have you watched me lectures on mark-ups and margins, and on consolidations?
The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
yes i have but the confused part is the solution on the study pack shows that unrealised profit is $900,000

If it is a question from the BPP Revision Kit then tell me which one I and I will check :-)
