a. $450,000 $8,500,000 $6,700,000
b. $450,000 $7,700,000 $5,900,000
c. $390,000 $7,700,000 $5,900,000
d. $150,000 $3,500,000 $1,900,000

Answer 1

Correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales between a parent and a subsidiary is not considered to be a sales while preparing consolidated financial statements.

Amounts to be reported in the consolidated financial statements will be calculated as follows:

Inventory = $300,000 + $150,000 - $60,000 = $390,000

Sales revenue = $5,000,000 + $3,500,000 - $800,000 = $7,700,000

Cost of goods sold = $4,000,000 + $2,700,000 - $800,000 = $5,900,000

Therefore,

The correct answer is c.
