For the same period, Stodd has sales of $500,000 and cost of goods sold of $400,000. During the year, Stodd sold merchandise to Tara for $40,000 at a price based on the normal markup. At the end of the year, Tara still possesses 20 percent of this inventory. Prepare the consolidation entry to defer intra-entity gross profit.

Stodd Inc. sales = $500,000

Cost of goods sold = $400,000

Stodd sold to Tara = $40,000

COGS A/c Dr. $1,600
