CPA · Question 32 · Area II: Technical Accounting

Parent Co sold inventory to Subsidiary Co for $100,000 (Cost $60,000). At year-end, Subsidiary Co had sold 40% of this inventory to outside parties. What is the amount of unrealized gross profit to be eliminated in consolidation?

Answer options:

A.

$40,000

B.

$16,000

C.

$24,000

D.

$20,000

How to approach this question

1. Calculate Total Intercompany Profit ($100k - $60k = $40k). 2. Determine % remaining in ending inventory (100% - 40% sold = 60%). 3. Multiply Profit by % Remaining.

Full Answer

C.$24,000✓ Correct
C
The profit on the 40% sold is realized. The profit on the 60% remaining in inventory is unrealized. Total Profit = $40,000. Unrealized = $40,000 * 0.60 = $24,000.

Common mistakes

Eliminating the realized profit; eliminating the full profit amount.
