b. $120,000
c. $90,000
d. $58,000

Answer 1

b. $120,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount of sales will be reported in the 20X8 consolidated income statement is shown below;

= Total consolidated sales - Intra company sales

= $120,000 + $90,000 - $90,000

= $120,000

Hence, the amount of sales will be reported in the 20X8 consolidated income statement is $120,000

Therefore the option b is correct
