Scenario: On 1 January 20X4, Quantum Robotics Co acquired 80% of the equity share capital of Nano Assembly Ltd. Consideration consisted of $500,000 cash paid immediately and a further $200,000 payable on 1 January 20X6 (discount rate 10%, PV = $165,289). At acquisition, Nano Assembly's share capital was $100,000 and retained earnings were $350,000. The fair value of the non-controlling interest (NCI) at acquisition was $120,000.

During the year, Nano Assembly sold components to Quantum Robotics for $80,000, at a mark-up of 25%. Half of these remained in inventory at 31 December 20X4. At 31 December 20X4, Nano Assembly's retained earnings were $450,000.

Question: How is the PURP of $8,000 treated in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss?

Answer options:

A.

Deducted from consolidated Revenue.

B.

Added to consolidated Cost of Sales.

C.

Deducted from consolidated Cost of Sales.

D.

Added to consolidated Operating Expenses.

How to approach this question

To reduce profit in the Statement of Profit or Loss, you must either decrease revenue or increase expenses. PURP relates to inventory (Cost of Sales). Increasing Cost of Sales reduces profit.

Full Answer

B.Added to consolidated Cost of Sales.✓ Correct
The Provision for Unrealized Profit (PURP) represents profit that has not yet been realized by selling to a third party. To eliminate this profit from the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss, it is added to consolidated Cost of Sales, which decreases the consolidated Gross Profit by $8,000.

Common mistakes

Deducting it from Cost of Sales, which would incorrectly increase profit.
