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 increase.

Here's why:

When a parent company sells goods to a subsidiary, any profit from this intra-group transaction is unrealised from a group perspective until the subsidiary sells the goods to a third party. This unrealised profit must be eliminated in the consolidated financial statements to avoid overstating profits, sales, and assets.

In this case, the unrealised profit in opening inventory of B380 Limited (which would have been eliminated from the opening retained earnings and consolidated profit of 20X7) exceeds that of its unrealised profit in closing inventory (which would be eliminated from the closing retained earnings and consolidated profit of 20X7).

This means that the amount of profit being eliminated in 20X7 is less than that in 20X6, leading to a higher consolidated profit for the 20X7 financial year.
