ACCA · Question 45 · Preparing Simple Consolidated Financial Statements

Section B - Case 1: Group Consolidations

Scenario: Nebula Aerospace
On 1 January 20X5, Nebula Aerospace acquired 80% of the equity share capital of Comet Components. The purchase consideration was $500,000 cash. At the date of acquisition, Comet's share capital was $100,000 and its retained earnings were $250,000. The fair value of the non-controlling interest (NCI) at acquisition was $110,000.
During the year ended 31 December 20X5, Comet made a profit of $80,000. Nebula sold goods to Comet for $50,000 at a 25% mark-up on cost. Half of these goods remain in Comet's inventory at year-end. Comet owes Nebula $20,000 at year-end.

What amount should be deducted from consolidated Revenue in respect of the intra-group trading? (Enter the number only)

How to approach this question

Identify the total value of the intra-group sales during the year. This entire amount must be eliminated from both Revenue and Cost of Sales.

Full Answer

The total intra-group sales during the year were $50,000. This entire amount must be deducted from consolidated Revenue (and consolidated Cost of Sales) to prevent double-counting.

Common mistakes

Deducting only the PUP ($5,000) or only the value of goods remaining in inventory ($25,000).
