Question
S Ltd acquired land from its parent company P Ltd for 100 000 (assume a tax rate of 30%). Two years later S sold the land outside the group for 200 000 Cr. Gain on Sale 900 000 Cr. Gain on Sale 1 100 000 Cr. Gain on Sale $1 100 000d.no entry required
Solution
The correct answer is b. Dr. Opening Retained Earnings 900,000.
Here's the step by step explanation:
-
S Ltd acquired the land from P Ltd for $1,000,000. This is the cost of the land for S Ltd.
-
The land was originally bought by P Ltd for 900,000 (100,000) when it sold the land to S Ltd.
-
When S Ltd sold the land outside the group for 200,000 (1,000,000).
-
However, for consolidation purposes, we need to eliminate intra-group transactions. This means we need to eliminate the gain that P Ltd made when it sold the land to S Ltd.
-
Therefore, the consolidation journal entry required would be to debit (decrease) the opening retained earnings by $900,000 (the gain made by P Ltd) and credit (increase) the gain on sale by the same amount. This effectively eliminates the intra-group gain and only leaves the gain made by S Ltd when it sold the land outside the group.
