Chapter 7, Problem 28P

a.

To determine

Identify the method which Company P use to account for its investment in Company S.

Explanation of Solution

The net income of Company S is 80 percent of the total reported income of Company S which implies that there is no adjustment for excess amortization and intra-entity profits. The retained earnings of Company P is not equal to the amount of consolidated retained earnings. Thus, Company P is using Partial equity Method to account for its investment in Company S.

b.

To determine

Determine the balance of the intra-entity inventory gross profit deferred at the end of the current period.

Explanation of Solution

The consolidated balance of inventory is represented as $338,000 rather than sum of $190,000 and $160,000 which is $350,000. Thus, the balance of the intra-entity inventory gross profit deferred at the end of the current period is $12,000.

c.

To determine

Find the amount which was originally allocated to the trademarks.

Explanation of Solution

The amount of consolidated trademarks is $32,500 where the amortization expense of two years has been adjusted. Thus, the amount which was originally allocated to the trademarks is $37,500 because amortization of two years amounts to $5,000.

d.

To determine

Determine the amount of the current year intra-entity inventory sales.

Explanation of Solution

The consolidated total for sales is given as $1,280,000 whereas the total of sales of Company P and Company S amounts to $1,400,000. Thus, the amount of the current year intra-entity inventory sales is $120,000.

e.

To determine

Identify whether the intra-entity inventory sales made are upstream or downstream.

Explanation of Solution

The net income of Company S has been adjusted according to the upstream transfers and the income attributed to the non-controlling interests has not been computed as 20 percent of the total net income of subsidiary. These all adjustments implies that the intra-entity sales are upstream in nature.

f.

To determine

Compute the balance of the intra-entity liability at the end of the current year.

Explanation of Solution

The consolidated total of liabilities and receivables is $20,000 than the sum total of liabilities of both the companies. Thus, the balance of the intra-entity liability at the end of the current year is $20,000.
