ACCA · Question 46 · 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.

Before adjusting for the PUP, what amount should be deducted from consolidated Cost of Sales in respect of the intra-group trading? (Enter the number only)

How to approach this question

The elimination of intra-group sales requires an equal deduction from both Revenue and Cost of Sales.

Full Answer

To eliminate the intra-group transaction, the total sales value ($50,000) is deducted from both consolidated Revenue and consolidated Cost of Sales. (Note: The PUP is then added back to Cost of Sales, but the question asks for the deduction before the PUP adjustment).

Common mistakes

Deducting the cost of the goods to the parent ($40,000) instead of the transfer price ($50,000).
