Question
A747 Limited and A767 Limited are subsidiaries of one economic entity. Both A747 Limited and A767 Limited are both separate legal entities required to prepare their own financial statements. During the 20X7 financial year, A747 Limited sold A767 Limited an amount of inventory which cost 2,000. At the end of the 20X7 financial year, A767 Limited has 60 percent of that inventory still on hand and the rest has been sold to an entity outside the economic entity.At what amount should the inventory remaining in A767 Limited be recorded in the consolidated financial statement for the economic entity for the 20X7 financial year?Group of answer choices800600
Solution
The inventory should be recorded at the cost to the economic entity, not at the sale price between the two entities. This is because the sale is an internal transaction and does not generate profit for the economic entity as a whole.
The cost to the economic entity of the inventory is 1,000, which is $600.
Therefore, the inventory remaining in A767 Limited should be recorded at $600 in the consolidated financial statement for the economic entity for the 20X7 financial year.
