What amount of sales will be reported in the consolidated income statement for 20X8

Answer 1

Answer: $790,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of sales that should be recorded in the consolidated statement is the total sales of each company less the sales of each company to each other.

Consolidated sales = (660,000 + 510,000) - (140,000 + 240,000)

= 1,170,000 - 380,000

= $790,000
