1. Prepare a working paper elimination for Purkle Corporation and subsidiary on December 31, Year 1 for the intercompany sale of inventory.

2. Prepare a working paper elimination for Purkle Corporation and subsidiary on December 31, Year 2 for the intercompany sale of inventory.

3. If Sterkel reports on its trial balance $130,000 of net income for Year 2, assuming no other adjustments other than for the intercompany sale of inventory, what would be the Non-Controlling Interest Share of Consolidated Net Income for Year 2?

Solution

When Holding company purchase goods from its subsidiary company then unrealised profit on unsold stock should be eliminated since this is ultimately shared by holding and minority shareholders.

1) Year 1 elimination of unrealised profit from consolidated profit and minority will be as follows:

40000/125*25=8000 is the total unrealised profit

8000*94/100=7520will be eliminated from consolidated profit and loss

8000-7520=480 from minority

2) Year 2 80000/125*25=16000 unrealised profit

16000*94/100=15040  eliminated from consolidated profit and loss

16000-15040=960 from minority

3) profit share of noncontrolling (minority shareholder)=130000*6/100=7800

Less: Unrealised profit of Year2 = (960)

Actual profit of minority= 7800-960=6840$
