CHAPTER 6

INTERCOMPANY INVENTORY TRANSACTIONS

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

Q6-1 All inventory transfers between related companies must be eliminated to avoid an overstatement of revenue and cost of goods sold in the consolidated income statement. In addition, when unrealized profits exist at the end of the period, the eliminations are needed to avoid overstating inventory and consolidated net income.

Q6-2 An inventory transfer at cost results in an overstatement of sales and cost of goods sold. While net income is not affected, gross profit ratios and other financial statement analysis may be substantially in error if appropriate eliminations are not made.

Q6-3 An upstream sale occurs when the parent purchases items from one or more subsidiaries. A downstream sale occurs when the sale is made by the parent to one or more subsidiaries. Knowledge of the direction of sale is important when there are unrealized profits so that the person preparing the consolidation worksheet will know whether to reduce consolidated net income assigned to the controlling interest by the full amount of the unrealized profit (downstream) or reduce consolidated income assigned to the controlling and noncontrolling interestson a proportionate basis (upstream).

Q6-4 As in all cases, the total amount of the unrealized profit must be eliminated in preparing the consolidated statements. When the profits are on the parent company's books, consolidated net income and income assigned to the controlling interest are reduced by the full amount of the unrealized profit.

Q6-5 Consolidated net income is reduced by the full amount of the unrealized profits. In the upstream sale, the unrealized profits are apportioned between the parent company shareholders and the noncontrolling shareholders. Thus, consolidated net income assigned to the controlling and noncontrolling interests is reduced by a pro rata portion of the unrealized profits.

Q6-6 Income assigned to the noncontrolling interest is affected when unrealized profits are recorded on the subsidiary's books as a result of an upstream sale. A downstream sale should have no effect on the income assigned to noncontrolling interest because the profits are on the books of the parent.

Q6-7 The basic eliminating entry needed when the item is resold before the end of the period is:

Sales XXXXXX

Cost of Goods Sold XXXXXX

(2)

The debit to sales is based on the intercorporate sale price. This means that only the revenue recorded by the company ultimately selling to the nonaffiliate is to be included in the consolidated income statement. Cost of goods sold is credited for the amount paid by the purchaser on the intercorporate transfer, thereby permitting the cost of goods sold recorded by the initial owner to be reported in the consolidated statement.

Q6-8 The basic eliminating entry needed when one or more of the items are not resold before the end of the period is:

Sales XXXXXX

Cost of Goods Sold XXXXXX

Inventory XXXXXX

The debit to sales is for the full amount of the transfer price. Inventory is credited for the unrealized profit at the end of the period and cost of goods sold is credited for the amount charged to cost of goods sold by the company making the intercompany sale.

Q6-9 Cost of goods sold is reported by the consolidated entity when inventory is sold to an external party. The amount reported as cost of goods sold is based on the amount paid for the inventory when it was produced or purchased from an external party. If inventory has been purchased by one company and sold to a related company, the cost of goods sold recorded on the intercorporate sale must be eliminated.

Q6-10 No adjustment to retained earnings is needed if the intercorporate sales have been made at cost or if all intercorporate sales have been resold to an external party in the same accounting period. If all of the intercorporate sales have not been resold by the end of the period, under the fully adjusted equity method, the parent defers unrealized profits in the investment in sub and income from sub accounts. This adjustment would be made to retained earnings under the modified equity method. However, regardless of the parent’s method for accounting for the investment, the amount of the noncontrolling interest is reduced by the NCI’s proportionate share of the unrealized profit associated with upstream sales.

Q6-11 A proportionate share of the realized retained earnings of the subsidiary are assigned to the noncontrolling interest. Any unrealized profits on upstream sales are deducted proportionately from the amount assigned to the noncontrolling interest. Unrealized profits on downstream sales do not affect the noncontrolling interest.

Q6-12 When inventory profits from a prior period intercompany transfer are realized in the current period, the profit is added to consolidated net income and to the income assigned to the shareholders of the company that made the intercompany sale. If the unrealized profits arise from a downstream sale, income assigned to the controlling interest will increase by the full amount of profit realized. When the profits arise from an upstream sale, income assigned to the controlling and noncontrolling interests will be increased proportionately in the period the profit is realized. Thus, knowledge of whether the profits resulted from an upstream or a downstream sale is imperative in assigning consolidated net income to the appropriate shareholder group.

(3)

Q6-13 Under the fully adjusted equity method, consolidated retained earnings is not affected directly by unrealized profits. Unrealized profits are deferred in the investment in sub and income from sub accounts on the parent’s books. Income from sub is closed out to retained earnings, so the deferral of unrealized profits indirectly affects retained earnings. As a result, the amount reported for consolidated retained earnings is always equal to the parent’s retained earnings.

Q6-14 Consolidated retained earnings are always equal to the parent’s retained earnings under the fully adjusted equity method. Since the parent company defers unrealized profits in the income from sub and investment in sub accounts and since income from sub is closed out to the parent’s retained earnings, the ending balance in consolidated retained earnings will reflect the reduction associated with the deferral of unrealized profits.

Q6-15* Sales between subsidiaries are treated in the same manner as upstream sales. Whenever the profits are on the books of one of the subsidiaries, the unrealized profits at the end of the period are eliminated and consolidated net income and income assigned to the controlling and noncontrolling interests is reduced.

Q6-16* When a company is acquired in a business combinationthe transactions occurring before the combination generally are regarded as transactions with unrelated parties and no adjustments or eliminations are needed. All transactions between the companies following the combination must be fully eliminated.

SOLUTIONS TO CASES

C6-1 Measuring Cost of Goods Sold

a. While the rule covers only a part of the elimination needed, Charlie is correct in that the cost of goods sold recorded by the selling company must be eliminated to avoid overstating that caption in the consolidated income statement.

b. The rules will result in the proper consolidated totals if rule #1 is expanded to include a debit to sales and a credit to ending inventory for the amount of profit recorded by the company that sold to its affiliate.

c. The way in which the rule is stated makes it appear to be incorrect, but it is correct. The rule is appropriate in that the cost of goods sold recorded by the purchasing affiliate is equal to the cost of goods sold to the first owner plus the profit the first owner recorded on the sale. Eliminating these amounts therefore eliminates the appropriate amount of cost of goods sold. If an equal amount of sales is eliminated, the rule should result in proper consolidated financial statement totals.

d. The employee would be forced to look at the books of the selling affiliate and determine the difference between the intercorporate sale price and the price it paid to acquire or produce the items. If the items sold to affiliates are routinely produced and costs do not fluctuate greatly, it may be possible to use some form of gross profit ratio to estimate the amount of unrealized profit.

C6-2 Inventory Values and Intercompany Transfers MEMO

To: President

Water Products Corporation From: , CPA

Re: Inventory Sale and Purchase of New Inventory

If Water Products holds only a small percent of the ownership of Plumbers Products and Growinkle Manufacturing, it should have no difficulty in reporting the desired results. This would not be the case if the two companies are subsidiaries of Water Products.

If both Plumbers Products and Growinkel are subsidiaries of Water Products, both the sale of inventory to Plumbers Supply and the purchase of inventory from Growinkle Manufacturing must be eliminated.In addition, the unrealized profit on any unsold inventory involved in these transfers must be eliminated in preparing the financial statements for the current period.

The consolidated income statement should include the same amount of income on the inventory sold to Plumbers Supply and resold during the year as would have been recorded if Water Products had sold the inventory directly to the purchaser. Any income recorded by Water Products on inventory not resold by Plumbers Supply must be eliminated.

Similarly, the consolidated income statement should include the same amount of income on the inventory purchased by Water Products and resold during the year as would have been recorded if Growinkle Manufacturing had sold the inventory directly to the purchaser. Any income recorded by Growinkle Manufacturing on inventory not resold by Water Products must be eliminated.

Consolidated net income may increase if Plumbers Supply is able to sell the inventory it purchased from Water Products at a higher price than would have been received by Water Products or if it is able to sell a larger number of units. The same can be said for the inventory purchased by Water Products from Growinkle Manufacturing. It is important to recognize that the transfer of inventory between Water Products and its subsidiaries does not in itself generate income for the consolidated entity.

An additional level of complexity may arise in this situation if Water Products uses the LIFO inventory method. It might, for example, be forced to carry over its LIFO cost basis on the old inventory sold to Plumbers Supply to the new inventory purchased from Growinkle Manufacturing since it was replaced within the accounting period.

Chapter 06 - Intercompany Inventory Transactions C6-3 Intercorporate Inventory Transfers MEMO

To: Treasurer

Evert Corporation From: , CPA Re: Inventory Sale to Parent

This memo is prepared in response to your request for information on the appropriate treatment of intercompany inventory transfers in consolidated financial statements. The specific eliminating entries required in this case depend on the valuation assigned to the inventory at December 31, 20X2.

Frankle Company sold inventory with a carrying value of $240,000 to Evert for $180,000 on December 20, 20X2. Since the exchange price was well below Frankle’s cost, consideration should be given to whether the inventory should be reported at $180,000 or $240,000 in the consolidated statements at December 31, 20X2, under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule. While the value of the inventory apparently had fallen below Frankle’s carrying value, the accounting standards indicate no loss should be recognized when the evidence indicates that cost will be recovered with an approximately normal profit margin upon sale in the ordinary course of business. [ARB 43, Chapter 4, Par. 9; ASC 330]

We are told the management of Frankle considered the drop in prices to be temporary and Evert was able to sell the inventory for $70,000 more than the original amount paid by Frankle. It therefore seems appropriate for the consolidated entity to report the inventory at Frankle’s cost of $240,000 at December 31, 20X2.

In preparing the consolidated statements at December 31, 20X2 and 20X3, the effects of the intercompany transfer should be eliminated. [ARB 51, Par. 6; ASC 810]

The following eliminating entry is required at December 31, 20X2:

Sales 180,000

Inventory 60,000

Cost of Goods Sold 240,000

The above entry will increase the carrying value of the inventory to $240,000. Eliminating sales of $180,000 and cost of goods sold of $240,000 will increase consolidated net income by $60,000 and income assigned to the noncontrolling interestby$6,000 ($60,000 x 0.10). These changes will result in an increase in consolidated retained earnings and the amount assigned to the noncontrolling shareholders in the consolidated balance sheet by $54,000 and $6,000, respectively.

(6)

Chapter 06 - Intercompany Inventory Transactions C6-3 (continued)

The following eliminating entry is required at December 31, 20X3:

Investment in Sub 54,000

NCI in NA of Sub 6,000

The above entry will reduce consolidated net income by $60,000 and income assigned to the noncontrolling interest by $6,000 ($60,000 x .10). The credits to Investment in Sub and NCI in NA of Sub needed to bring the beginning balances into agreement with those reported at December 31, 20X2.

No eliminations are required for balances reported at December 31, 20X3, because the inventory has been sold to a nonaffiliate prior to year-end.

C6-4 Unrealized Inventory Profits

a. When the amount of unrealized inventory profits on the books of the subsidiary at the beginning of the period is greater than the amount at the end of the period, the income assigned to the noncontrolling interest for the period will exceed a pro rata portion of the reported net income of the subsidiary.

b. The subsidiary apparently had less unrealized inventory profit at the end of the period than it did at the start of the period. In addition, the parent must have had more unrealized profit on its books at the end of the period than it did at the beginning. The negative effect of the latter apparently offset the positive effect of the reduction in unrealized profits by the subsidiary. c. The most likely reason is that a substantial amount of the parent company sales was made to its subsidiaries and the cost of goods sold on those items was eliminated in preparing the consolidated statements.

d. A loss was recorded by the seller on an intercompany sale of inventory to an affiliate and the purchaser continues to hold the inventory.

(7)

Chapter 06 - Intercompany Inventory Transactions C6-5 Eliminating Inventory Transfers

a. If no intercompany sales are eliminated, the income statement may include overstated sales revenue and cost of goods sold. The net impact on income will depend upon whether there were more unrealized profits at the beginning or end of the year. If ReadyBuilding does not hold total ownership of the subsidiaries, the amount of income assigned to noncontrolling shareholders is likely to be incorrect as well.

Inventory, current assets and total assets, retained earnings, and stockholders' equity are likely to be overstated if inventories are sold to affiliates at a profit. If the companies pay income taxes on their individual earnings, the amount of income tax expense also will be overstated in the period in which unrealized profits are reported and understated in the period in which the profits are realized.

b. Because profit margins vary considerably, the amount of unrealized profit may vary considerably if uneven amounts of product are purchased by affiliates from period to period. ReadyBuilding needs to establish a formal system to monitor intercompany sales. Perhaps the best alternative would be to establish a separate series of accounts to be used solely for intercompany transfers. Alternatively, it may be possible to use unique shipping containers for intercompany sales or to specifically mark the containers in some way to identify the intercompany shipments at the time of receipt. The purchaser might then use a different type of inventory tag or mark these units in some way when the product is received and placed in inventory. Inventory count teams could then easily identify the product when inventories are taken.

c. A number of factors might be considered. The most important inventory system is the one used by the company making the intercompany purchase. When intercompany inventory purchases are bunched at the end of the year, the amount of unrealized profit included in ending inventory may be quite different under FIFO versus LIFO. If intercompany purchases are placed in a LIFO inventory base, inventories may be misstated for a period of years before the inventory is resold. Eliminating entries must be made each of the years until resale to avoid a misstatement of assets and equities. In those cases where the intercompany purchases are in high volume and the inventory turns over very quickly, a small amount of inventory left at the end of the period may be immaterial and of little concern. Typically, a parent will align inventory costing methods subsequent to a subsidiary acquisition to avoid problems caused by differences in accounting for the same items or types of items.

d. It may be necessary to start by looking at intercorporate cash receipts and disbursements to determine the extent of intercorporate sales. One or more months might be selected and all vouchers examined to establish the level of intercorporate sales and the profit margins recorded on the sales. For those products sold throughout the year, it may be possible to estimate for the year as a whole based on an examination of several months. Once total intercompany sales and profit margins have been estimated, the amount of unrealized profit at year end should be estimated. One approach would be to take a physical inventory of the specific product types which have been identified and attempt to trace back using the product identification numbers or shipping numbers to determine what portion of the inventory on hand was purchased from affiliates.

C6-6 Intercompany Profits and Transfers of Inventory

a. The intercompany transfers of Xerox (http://www.xerox.com) between segments are apparently relatively insignificant because they are not reported in the notes to the consolidated financial statements relating to segment reporting. For consolidation purposes, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

b. Exxon Mobil (http://www.exxonmobil.com) prices intercompany transfers at estimated market prices. The amount of intercompany transfers is large. In the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, Exxon Mobil reported eliminations of $302.6 billion of intersegment transfers, which does not include intercompany transfers within segments. This amount represents nearly 50 percent of total reported segment sales. For consolidation purposes, Exxon Mobil eliminates the effects of intercompany transactions.

c. Ford Motor Company (http://www.ford.com) intercompany transfers consist primarily of vehicles, parts, and components manufactured by the company and its subsidiaries, with a smaller amount of financial and other services included. The amount of intercompany transfers is relatively small in relation to sales to unaffiliated customers. The amount has been decreasing in recent years. The effects of intercompany transfers are eliminated in consolidation.
