    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?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Deduct $120,000 from Receivables and deduct $120,000 from Payables.

    B.

    Deduct $150,000 from Receivables, deduct $120,000 from Payables, and add $30,000 to Cash in Transit.

    C.

    Deduct $150,000 from Receivables and deduct $150,000 from Payables.

    D.

    Add $30,000 to Payables and deduct $150,000 from both Receivables and Payables.

    How to approach this question

    Adjust the parent's or subsidiary's books for the in-transit item so the balances match. Then eliminate the matching balances entirely.

    Full Answer

    B.Deduct $150,000 from Receivables, deduct $120,000 from Payables, and add $30,000 to Cash in Transit.✓ Correct
    Before elimination, the balances must be reconciled. The $30,000 cash is in transit. Adjustment 1: Recognize cash in transit (Debit Cash $30,000, Credit BioHealth Receivables $30,000). Now BioHealth's receivable is $120,000. Adjustment 2: Eliminate the matching balances (Credit Receivables $120,000, Debit Payables $120,000). Net effect: Receivables down by $150,000, Payables down by $120,000, Cash up by $30,000.

    Common mistakes

    Only eliminating the lower matching amount ($120,000) and leaving the $30,000 in consolidated receivables.
