Question

On January 1, 20X1, Picture Company acquired 70 percent ownership of Seven Corporation at underlying book value. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the date of acquisition was equal to 30 percent of the book value of Seven Corporation. On April 25, 20X1, Seven purchased inventory from Picture for $45,000. Seven sold the entire inventory to an unaffiliated company for $58,000 on October 12, 20X1. Picture had produced the inventory sold to Seven for $38,000. The companies had no other transactions during 20X1. Based on the information given above, what amount of sales will be reported in the 20X1 consolidated income statement?

Answer 1

The amount of sales will be reported in the 20X1 consolidated income statement is $58,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount of sales is shown below:

= Value of the entire inventory sold - purchased inventory + sale inventory

= $58,000 - $45,000 + $45,000

= $58,000

The purchased inventory + sale inventory would reflect the intra sales of the company which told that the sales are made within the company.
