Correction of Eliminating Entries

In preparing the consolidation worksheet for Bolger Corporation and its 60 percent owned subsid­iary, Feldman Company, the following eliminating entries were proposed by Bolger’s bookkeeper:

Cash

80,000

 

Accounts Payable

 

80,000

To eliminate the unpaid balance for intercorporate inventory sales in 20X5.

Cost of Goods Sold

12,000

 

Income from Subsidiary

 

12,000

To eliminate unrealized inventory profits at December 31, 20X5.

Income from Subsidiary

140,000

 

Sales

 

140,000

To eliminate intercompany sales for 20X5.

Bolger’s bookkeeper recently graduated from Oddball University, and while the dollar amounts recorded are correct, he had some confusion in determining which accounts needed adjustment. All intercorporate sales in 20X5 were from Feldman to Bolger, and Feldman sells inventory at cost plus 40 percent of cost. Bolger uses the fully adjusted equity method in accounting for its ownership in Feldman.

Required

a. What percentage of the intercompany inventory transfer was resold prior to the end of 20X5?


b. Give the appropriate eliminating entries needed at December 31, 20X5, to prepare consolidated financial statements.
