DOWNSTREAM SALE OF INVENTORY
Resale in Subsequent Period Following Intercompany Sale:
Unrealized Intercompany Profit in Ending Inventories
Any merchandise purchased from an affiliated company that remains unsold on the
date of Consolidated Statement of Financial Position results in the overstatement of
purchaser’s ending inventories. The overstatement is equal to the amount of the selling
affiliate’s unrealized intercompany profit included in the ending inventory.
Assume that on March 1, 2020, Parent Company sold merchandise to Sub Company
(an 80% owned subsidiary) costing P7,500 for P10,000 or at a gross profit of 25%, out of
which P5,000 remained unsold by Sub Company on December 31, 2020. The inventories
sold to outsiders by Sub Company were marked up at 20% on cost. The following entries
were recorded by each company:
Books of Parent Company:
03/01/2020 Cash 10,000
Sales 10,000
To record the sale to Sub Company.
Cost of goods sold 7,500
Inventory 7,500
To record the cost of inventory sold.
Books of Sub Company:
03/01/2020 Inventory 10,000
Cash 10,000
To record the purchase from Parent.
12/31/2020 Cash 6,000
Sales 6,000
To record the sale to outsiders.
Cost of goods sold 5,000
Inventory 5,000
To record the cost of goods sold.

COGS 7,500 5,000 12,500 **3,750
Gross profit P 2,500 P 1,000 P 3,500 P 2,250
Based on the foregoing analysis, the working paper elimination entries are required
for Parent’s intercompany sales of merchandise to Sub for the year ended December 31,
2020:
Sales 10,000
Cost of goods sold 10,000
To eliminate intercompany sale of inventory.
Cost of goods sold 1,250
Inventory 1,250
To eliminate unrealized inventory profit.
Proof:
Assume that Sub Company sold all the inventory during the period, the following is
the expected consolidated income of the two companies:
Parent Sub Unadjusted Consolidated
Company Company Balances Balances
Sales P 10,000 P 12,000 P 22,000 P 12,000
COGS 7,500 10,000 17,500 7,500
Gross profit P 2,500 P 2,000 P 4,500 P 4,500
Since the Sub Company was able to sell only P5,000 worth of its
inventories, or 50% of the available inventories, the Gross Profit for the period
is also 50% of the expected consolidated gross profit which is equal to P2,250.

Computation and Allocation of Consolidated Net Income
The computation of consolidated net income and its allocation on December 31, 2020
is computed as follows (net income of both companies are assumed):
Parent’s net income form own operations 50,000
Unrealized intercompany profit on inventory (1,250)
Parent’s realized income from outsiders 48,750
Sub’s net income from own operations 24,000
Consolidated net income 72,750
Attributable to NCI (24,000 x 20%) 4,800
Attributable to parent shareholders 67,950
Intercompany Profit in Beginning and Ending Inventories
Generally, it is assumed that on a first-in, first-out basis, the intercompany profit in
the purchaser’s beginning inventories is realized through sales of the merchandise to
outsiders during the following period. Only the intercompany profit in ending inventories
remains unrealized at the end of the period.
