Section B - Case 3: BioHealth Holdings
On 31 December 20X8, BioHealth's receivables included $150,000 due from MedTech. However, MedTech's payables only showed $120,000 due to BioHealth. The difference was due to a $30,000 cash payment made by MedTech on 29 December 20X8, which BioHealth did not receive and record until 4 January 20X9.
What adjustment is required in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 20X8 to eliminate this intra-group balance?
