Question
B330 Limited always sells inventory items to its subsidiary B380 Limited at a 40 percent markup on cost. During the 20X7 financial year, the unrealised profit in closing inventory of B380 Limited exceeds that of its unrealised profit in opening inventory. Assuming the same tax rate for both 20X6 and 20X7 financial years, which of the following statements is correct with respect to B330 Limited’s consolidated financial statements after considering these transactions only?Group of answer choicesConsolidated profit for the 20X7 financial year will increase.Consolidated profit for the 20X7 financial year will decrease.Consolidated inventory on statement of financial position for the 20X7 financial year will increase.Consolidated sales and purchases/cost of goods sold for the 20X7 financial year will be unaffected.
Solution
The correct statement with respect to B330 Limited’s consolidated financial statements after considering these transactions only is that the consolidated profit for the 20X7 financial year will decrease.
Here's why:
In consolidated financial statements, intercompany transactions are eliminated to avoid double counting. This includes the markup profit that B330 Limited makes when selling inventory to its subsidiary B380 Limited.
At the end of the financial year, any inventory that B380 Limited has not yet sold (closing inventory) still includes the markup profit from B330 Limited. This is known as unrealised profit.
If the unrealised profit in B380 Limited's closing inventory is higher than in its opening inventory, it means that more inventory with markup profit from B330 Limited remains unsold at the end of the year.
This unrealised profit must be eliminated from the consolidated profit. Therefore, if the unrealised profit increases, the consolidated profit will decrease.
