Trang 1CHAPTER 7 INTERCOMPANY INVENTORY TRANSACTIONS
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Q7-1 All inventory transfers between related companies must be eliminated to avoid an
overstatement of revenue and cost of goods sold in the consolidated income statement Inaddition, when unrealized profits exist at the end of the period, the eliminations are needed toavoid overstating inventory and consolidated net income
Q7-2 An inventory transfer at cost results in an overstatement of sales and cost of goods
sold While net income is not affected, gross profit ratios and other financial statementanalysis may be substantially in error if appropriate eliminations are not made
Q7-3 An upstream sale occurs when the parent purchases items from one or more
subsidiaries A downstream sale occurs when the sale is made by the parent to one or moresubsidiaries Knowledge of the direction of sale is important when there are unrealized profits
so that the person preparing the consolidation workpaper will know whether to reduceconsolidated net income assigned to the controlling interest by the full amount of theunrealized profit (downstream) or reduce consolidated income assigned to the controllingand noncontrolling interests on a proportionate basis (upstream)
Q7-4 As in all cases, the total amount of the unrealized profit must be eliminated in
preparing the consolidated statements When the profits are on the parent company's books,consolidated net income and income assigned to the controlling interest are reduced by thefull amount of the unrealized profit
Q7-5 Consolidated net income is reduced by the full amount of the unrealized profits In the
upstream sale, the unrealized profits are apportioned between the parent companyshareholders and the noncontrolling shareholders Thus, consolidated net income assigned
to the controlling and noncontrolling interests is reduced by a pro rata portion of theunrealized profits
Q7-6 Income assigned to the noncontrolling interest is affected when unrealized profits are
recorded on the subsidiary's books as a result of an upstream sale A downstream saleshould have no effect on the income assigned to noncontrolling interest because the profitsare on the books of the parent
Q7-7 The basic eliminating entry needed when the item is resold before the end of the
period is:
The debit to sales is based on the intercorporate sale price This means that only therevenue recorded by the company ultimately selling to the nonaffiliate is to be included in the
Trang 2Q7-8 The basic eliminating entry needed when one or more of the items are not resold
before the end of the period is:
Q7-9 Cost of goods sold is reported by the consolidated entity when inventory is sold to an
external party The amount reported as cost of goods sold is based on the amount paid forthe inventory when it was produced or purchased from an external party If inventory hasbeen purchased by one company and sold to a related company, the cost of goods soldrecorded on the intercorporate sale must be eliminated
Q7-10 No adjustment to retained earnings is needed if the intercorporate sales have been
made at cost or if all intercorporate sales have been resold to an external party in the sameaccounting period If not all of the intercorporate sales have been resold by the end of theperiod, consolidated retained earnings must be reduced by the parent's proportionate share
of any unrealized profits
Q7-11 A proportionate share of the realized retained earnings of the subsidiary are assigned
to the noncontrolling interest Any unrealized profits on upstream sales are deductedproportionately from the amount assigned to the noncontrolling interest and consolidatedretained earnings Unrealized profits on downstream sales are deducted entirely from theretained earnings assigned to the consolidated entity
Q7-12 When inventory profits from a prior period intercompany transfer are realized in the
current period, the profit is added to consolidated net income and to the income assigned tothe shareholders of the company that made the intercompany sale If the unrealized profitsarise from a downstream sale, income assigned to the controlling interest will increase by thefull amount of profit realized When the profits arise from an upstream sale, income assigned
to the controlling and noncontrolling interests will be increased proportionately in the periodthe profit is realized Thus, knowledge of whether the profits resulted from an upstream or adownstream sale is imperative in assigning consolidated net income to the appropriateshareholder group
Q7-13 Consolidated retained earnings must be reduced by the full amount of any unrealized
profit on the parent company books
Q7-14 Consolidated retained earnings must be reduced by the parent's proportionate share
of the unrealized profit on the subsidiary's books
Q7-15* Sales between subsidiaries are treated in the same manner as upstream sales.
Trang 3Q7-16* When a company is acquired in a business combination the transactions occurring
before the combination generally are regarded as transactions with unrelated parties and noadjustments or eliminations are needed All transactions between the companies followingthe combination must be fully eliminated
SOLUTIONS TO CASES
C7-1 Measuring Cost of Goods Sold
a While the rule covers only a part of the elimination needed, Charlie is correct in that thecost of goods sold recorded by the selling company must be eliminated to avoid overstatingthat caption in the consolidated income statement
b The rules will result in the proper consolidated totals if rule #1 is expanded to include adebit to sales and a credit to ending inventory for the amount of profit recorded by thecompany that sold to its affiliate
c The way in which the rule is stated makes it appear to be incorrect, but it is correct Therule is appropriate in that the cost of goods sold recorded by the purchasing affiliate is equal
to the cost of goods sold to the first owner plus the profit the first owner recorded on the sale.Eliminating these amounts therefore eliminates the appropriate amount of cost of goods sold
If an equal amount of sales is eliminated, the rule should result in proper consolidatedfinancial statement totals
d The employee would be forced to look at the books of the selling affiliate and determinethe difference between the intercorporate sale price and the price it paid to acquire orproduce the items If the items sold to affiliates are routinely produced and costs do notfluctuate greatly, it may be possible to use some form of gross profit ratio to estimate theamount of unrealized profit

MEMO
Water Products Corporation
From: , CPA
Re: Inventory Sale and Purchase of New Inventory
If Water Products holds only a small percent of the ownership of Plumbers Products andGrowinkle Manufacturing, it should have no difficulty in reporting the desired results Thiswould not be the case if the two companies are subsidiaries of Water Products
If both Plumbers Products and Growinkel are subsidiaries of Water Products, both the sale of
Trang 4C7-2 (continued)
The consolidated income statement should include the same amount of income on theinventory sold to Plumbers Supply and resold during the year as would have been recorded ifWater Products had sold the inventory directly to the purchaser Any income recorded byWater Products on inventory not resold by Plumbers Supply must be eliminated
Similarly, the consolidated income statement should include the same amount of income onthe inventory purchased by Water Products and resold during the year as would have beenrecorded if Growinkle Manufacturing had sold the inventory directly to the purchaser Anyincome recorded by Growinkle Manufacturing on inventory not resold by Water Productsmust be eliminated
Consolidated net income may increase if Plumbers Supply is able to sell the inventory itpurchased from Water Products at a higher price than would have been received by WaterProducts or if it is able to sell a larger number of units The same can be said for theinventory purchased by Water Products from Growinkle Manufacturing It is important torecognize that the transfer of inventory between Water Products and its subsidiaries does not
in itself generate income for the consolidated entity
An additional level of complexity may arise in this situation if Water Products uses the LIFOinventory method It might, for example, be forced to carry over its LIFO cost basis on the oldinventory sold to Plumbers Supply to the new inventory purchased from GrowinkleManufacturing since it was replaced within the accounting period

MEMO
Evert Corporation
From: , CPA
Re: Inventory Sale to Parent
This memo is prepared in response to your request for information on the appropriatetreatment of intercompany inventory transfers in consolidated financial statements Thespecific eliminating entries required in this case depend on the valuation assigned to theinventory at December 31, 20X2
Frankle Company sold inventory with a carrying value of $240,000 to Evert for $180,000 onDecember 20, 20X2 Since the exchange price was well below Frankle’s cost, considerationshould be given to whether the inventory should be reported at $180,000 or $240,000 in theconsolidated statements at December 31, 20X2, under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule.While the value of the inventory apparently had fallen below Frankle’s carrying value, theaccounting standards indicate no loss should be recognized when the evidence indicatesthat cost will be recovered with an approximately normal profit margin upon sale in the
ordinary course of business [ARB 43, Chapter 4, Par 9]
We are told the management of Frankle considered the drop in prices to be temporary andEvert was able to sell the inventory for $70,000 more than the original amount paid byFrankle It therefore seems appropriate for the consolidated entity to report the inventory atFrankle’s cost of $240,000 at December 31, 20X2
In preparing the consolidated statements at December 31, 20X2 and 20X3, the effects of the
intercompany transfer should be eliminated [ARB 51, Par 6]
The following eliminating entry is required at December 31, 20X2:
The above entry will increase the carrying value of the inventory to $240,000 Eliminatingsales of $180,000 and cost of goods sold of $240,000 will increase consolidated net income
by $60,000 and income assigned to the noncontrolling interest by $6,000 ($60,000 x 10).These changes will result in an increase in consolidated retained earnings and the amountassigned to the noncontrolling shareholders in the consolidated balance sheet by $54,000and $6,000, respectively
Trang 6C7-3 (continued)
The following eliminating entry is required at December 31, 20X3:
The above entry will reduce consolidated net income by $60,000 and income assigned to thenoncontrolling interest by $6,000 ($60,000 x .10) The credits to retained earnings andnoncontrolling interest are needed to bring the beginning balances into agreement with thosereported at December 31, 20X2
No eliminations are required for balances reported at December 31, 20X3, because theinventory has been sold to a nonaffiliate prior to year-end

C7-4 Unrealized Inventory Profits
a When the amount of unrealized inventory profits on the books of the subsidiary at thebeginning of the period is greater than the amount at the end of the period, the incomeassigned to the noncontrolling interest for the period will exceed a pro rata portion of thereported net income of the subsidiary
b The subsidiary apparently had less unrealized inventory profit at the end of the periodthan it did at the start of the period In addition, the parent must have had more unrealizedprofit on its books at the end of the period than it did at the beginning The negative effect ofthe latter apparently offset the positive effect of the reduction in unrealized profits by thesubsidiary
c The most likely reason is that a substantial amount of the parent company sales wasmade to its subsidiaries and the cost of goods sold on those items was eliminated inpreparing the consolidated statements
d A loss was recorded by the seller on an intercompany sale of inventory to an affiliate andthe purchaser continues to hold the inventory
Trang 7C7-5 Eliminating Inventory Transfers
a If no intercompany sales are eliminated, the income statement may include overstatedsales revenue and cost of goods sold The net impact on income will depend upon whetherthere were more unrealized profits at the beginning or end of the year If Ready Building doesnot hold total ownership of the subsidiaries, the amount of income assigned to noncontrollingshareholders is likely to be incorrect as well
Inventory, current assets and total assets, retained earnings, and stockholders' equity arelikely to be overstated if inventories are sold to affiliates at a profit If the companies payincome taxes on their individual earnings, the amount of income tax expense also will beoverstated in the period in which unrealized profits are reported and understated in theperiod in which the profits are realized
b Because profit margins vary considerably, the amount of unrealized profit may varyconsiderably if uneven amounts of product are purchased by affiliates from period to period.Ready Building needs to establish a formal system to monitor intercompany sales Perhapsthe best alternative would be to establish a separate series of accounts to be used solely forintercompany transfers Alternatively, it may be possible to use unique shipping containers forintercompany sales or to specifically mark the containers in some way to identify theintercompany shipments at the time of receipt The purchaser might then use a different type
of inventory tag or mark these units in some way when the product is received and placed ininventory Inventory count teams could then easily identify the product when inventories aretaken
c A number of factors might be considered The most important inventory system is the oneused by the company making the intercompany purchase When intercompany inventorypurchases are bunched at the end of the year, the amount of unrealized profit included inending inventory may be quite different under FIFO versus LIFO If intercompany purchasesare placed in a LIFO inventory base, inventories may be misstated for a period of yearsbefore the inventory is resold Eliminating entries must be made each of the years untilresale to avoid a misstatement of assets and equities In those cases where theintercompany purchases are in high volume and the inventory turns over very quickly, a smallamount of inventory left at the end of the period may be immaterial and of little concern.Typically, a parent will align inventory costing methods subsequent to a subsidiary acquisition
to avoid problems caused by differences in accounting for the same items or types of items
Trang 8C7-5 (continued)
d It may be necessary to start by looking at intercorporate cash receipts and disbursements
to determine the extent of intercorporate sales One or more months might be selected andall vouchers examined to establish the level of intercorporate sales and the profit marginsrecorded on the sales For those products sold throughout the year, it may be possible toestimate for the year as a whole based on an examination of several months Once totalintercompany sales and profit margins have been estimated, the amount of unrealized profit
at year end should be estimated One approach would be to take a physical inventory of thespecific product types which have been identified and attempt to trace back using the productidentification numbers or shipping numbers to determine what portion of the inventory onhand was purchased from affiliates
C7-6 Intercompany Profits and Transfers of Inventory
a The intercompany transfers of Xerox (www.xerox.com) between segments are apparentlyrelatively insignificant because they are not reported in the notes to the consolidated financialstatements relating to segment reporting For consolidation purposes, all significantintercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated
b Exxon Mobil (www.exxonmobil.com) prices intercompany transfers at estimated marketprices The amount of intercompany transfers is large In the fiscal year ending December
31, 2006, Exxon Mobil reported eliminations of $368 billion of intersegment transfers, whichdoes not include intercompany transfers within segments This amount represents nearly 50percent of total reported segment sales For consolidation purposes, Exxon Mobil eliminatesthe effects of intercompany transactions
c Ford Motor Company (www.ford.com) intercompany transfers consist primarily of vehicles,parts, and components manufactured by the company and its subsidiaries, with a smalleramount of financial and other services included The amount of intercompany transfers issignificant, totaling almost $4 billion, but is relatively small in relation to sales to unaffiliatedcustomers The amount has been decreasing in recent years The effects of intercompanytransfers are eliminated in consolidation
