Solution

The answer to this question requires an understanding of intercompany transactions and their impact on consolidated financial statements. Here are the steps to answer this question:

Step 1: Determine the carrying amount of the plant at the date of the sale. Purple Ltd acquired the plant on 1 January 2021 with a useful life of 6 years. This means that by 1 January 2023, the plant would have been depreciated for 2 years. The annual depreciation is (60,000cost/6yearsusefullife)=60,000 cost / 6 years useful life) = 10,000. So, the carrying amount at the date of sale is (60,000cost60,000 cost - 20,000 accumulated depreciation) = $40,000.

Step 2: Determine the gain or loss on the sale of the plant. Purple Ltd sold the plant to Rain Ltd for 50,000.Thegainonthesaleistherefore(50,000. The gain on the sale is therefore (50,000 sale price - 40,000carryingamount)=40,000 carrying amount) = 10,000. This gain is recognized in Purple Ltd's individual financial statements, increasing its current year profit.

Step 3: Determine the necessary adjustment on consolidation. On consolidation, intercompany transactions, including the gain on the sale of the plant, must be eliminated. This means that the $10,000 gain recognized by Purple Ltd must be reversed, decreasing the group's current year profit.

Step 4: Determine the impact on non-current assets. The plant continues to be used within the group, so its carrying amount remains in the consolidated statement of financial position. However, the plant is recorded at the original cost to the group, which is 60,000,lessaccumulateddepreciation.By30June2023,theplantwouldhavebeendepreciatedfor2.5years,sothecarryingamountis(60,000, less accumulated depreciation. By 30 June 2023, the plant would have been depreciated for 2.5 years, so the carrying amount is (60,000 cost - 25,000accumulateddepreciation)=25,000 accumulated depreciation) = 35,000. This is less than the $50,000 at which it was recorded in Rain Ltd's books, so there is a decrease in non-current assets.

In conclusion, the necessary adjustment on consolidation in relation to the transfer of plant as at 30 June 2023 will result in a decrease in current year profit and non-current assets.
