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
