In periods subsequent to an intra-entity depreciable asset transfer (at a gain), Consolidation Entry ED

From a consolidated perspective, the account is overstated by the amount of the intra-entity gross profit remaining in ending inventory.

In preparing consolidated financial statements when intra-entity gross profits remain in ending inventory, Consolidation Entry G credits Inventory because

- The debit to COGS reduces consolidated net income by the amount of the intra-entity gross profit. - The ending inventory component of COGS is overstated by the intra-entity gross profit remaining at year-end.

In preparing consolidated financial statements when intra-entity gross profits remain in ending inventory, Consolidation Entry G debits COGS because:

- excluded from inventory in the consolidated balance sheet. - excluded from net income.

In preparing consolidated financial statements, the gross profit or loss recorded by individual affiliates for intra-entity asset transfers is

- Intra-entity gross profits from upstream inventory transfers. - Excess acquisition-date fair value amortizations.

In the consolidated income statement, the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is affected by

100%

In the presence of a 10% noncontrolling interest, how much intra-entity gross profit remaining in ending inventory should be eliminated in consolidation?

- Removes the overstatement of expense resulting from depreciating the inflated transfer price of the transferred asset. - Reduced accumulated depreciation for the current year's overstatement of depreciation expense.

In the year of an intra-entity asset transfer at a price in excess of the asset's carrying amount, Consolidation Entry ED

- Write-down the value of the land by the amount of the intra-entity gain. - Ensure the gain is not reported in the consolidated income statement.

In the year of an intra-entity land transfer resulting in the recording of a gain, a consolidation entry is needed to

Depreciation expense

Intra-entity gross profits in ending inventory are recognized in consolidated net income though a credit to COGS when the inventory is sold to outsiders. As a intra-entity transferred asset is used in the production process, the intra-entity gain is recognized in consolidated net income by consolidation entries that credit ___ ___.

- create neither profits nor losses to the consolidated entity. - produce accounting effects that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

Inventory transfers among affiliates within a consolidated entity

Consolidation Entry G credits COGS in the year following transfer because the beginning inventory component of COGS is

Overstated by the intra-entity gross profit

Upstream transfers.

Similar to gross profits from intra-entity inventory transfers, the income effect of Consolidation Entries is allocated to the noncontrolling interest for

(D) for the parent's share of subsidiary dividends declared. (*G) for intra-entity gross profits in beginning inventory. (I) for the equity in subsidiary earnings recognized by the parent.

G

Which of the following Consolidation Entries has the net effect of decreasing the current period's consolidated net income?

*G

Which of the following Consolidation Entries has the net effect of increasing the current period's consolidated net income?

does not affect the noncontrolling interest.

When the parent applies the equity method and routinely transfers inventory downstream, any intra-entity gross profits remaining in the consolidated entity's ending inventory

- Beginning inventory gross profits increase the noncontrolling interest's share of consolidated net income. - Ending inventory gross profits decrease the noncontrolling interest's share of consolidated net income.

How do gross profits resulting from upstream inventory transfers affect the computation of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest?

Any intra-entity income or loss may be allocated between the parent and noncontrolling interest.

How does the ASC describe the effect of intra-entity gross profit remaining in ending inventory on the noncontrolling interest?

A parent uses the initial value method, sells inventory to the subsidiary, and intra-entity gross profits exist in beginning inventory. What is the effect of the intra-entity gross profits in beginning inventory on Consolidation Entry *G?

The beginning balance of the noncontrolling interest is entered as a smaller amount.

As part of Consolidation Entry S, the debit to the subsidiary's RE is reduced due to intra-entity gross profits in beginning inventory. What effect does this reduction have on the beginning-of-the-year balance of the noncontrolling interest?

- The land must be written down to its original cost to the consolidated entity. - The gain on sale must be removed.

B Company sells land to its parent A Company and records a gain on the sale. In the year of the sale, what accounts must be adjusted in preparing a consolidation worksheet?

Reduces COGS

Because consolidation worksheet entries are not posted to any affiliate's individual accounting records, intra-entity ending inventory gross profits from the previous year appear in the subsequent year's beginning inventory of the affiliate who now possesses the inventory. To correct for the presence of intra-entity gross profits in beginning inventory, Consolidation Entry *G

must be identified and removed as part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements.

Because the individual companies comprising a consolidated entity frequently maintain separate accounting records, the effects of intra-entity inventory transfers

Increases

By decreasing COGS, Consolidation Entry *G ___ consolidated net income.

Upstream land transfers affect the computation

How does the direction of intra-entity land transfers (resulting in intra-entity gain on sale) affect the computation of the noncontrolling interest's share of consolidated net income?

Upstream inventory transfers affect the computation

How does the direction of intra-entity transfers (resulting in intra-entity gross profit in inventories) affect the computation of the noncontrolling interest's share of consolidated net income

80% of the intra-entity gross profits in beginning inventory are recognized.

How does the equity method adjust the parent's Equity in Earnings account for intra-entity gross profits in beginning inventories from upstream sales to an 80% owned affiliate?

No

- Can require consolidation entries to RE indefinitely until the land is sold to outsiders. - Can require consolidation entries to land indefinitely until the land is sold to outsiders.

Compared to intra-entity gross profits in inventory, intra-entity gross profits from land transfers

- The Consolidation Entry *G to recognize the intra-entity profit in beginning inventory. - The Conversion Entry *C

Compared to the equity method, when the parent uses the initial value method, which consolidation entries for intra-entity transfers may differ or additionally be included?

Seller

Consistent with the textbook treatment of intra-entity inventory profits, all income effects of intra-entity depreciable asset profits are assigned to the original ___ of the asset.

True

Consolidation Entry TL removes the gain on sale from an intra-entity land sale because the land remains under the control of the consolidated entity.

Consolidated COGS is increased by intra-entity gross profits in ending inventory and decreased by intra-entity gross profits in beginning inventory.

What is the effect on consolidated COGS of intra-entity gross profits in beginning and ending inventories?

- To correct for the overstatement of the beginning inventory component of COGS. - Because the credit to COGS increases the net income of the consolidated entity in the year the inventory is sold to outsiders.

What is the reason Consolidation Entry *G credits COGS for the intra-entity gross profit present in beginning inventory?

Will decrease by the debit to the subsidiary's Retained Earnings
