Edgar Co. acquired 60% of Stendall Co. on January 1, 2018. During 2018, Edgar
made several sales of inventory to Stendall. The cost and sales price of the goods
were $140,000 and $200,000, respectively. Stendall still owned one-fourth of the
goods at the end of 2018. Consolidated cost of goods sold for 2018 was $2,140,000
due to a consolidating adjustment for intra-entity transfers less intra-entity gross profit
in Stendall’s ending inventory.

How would net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest be different if the transfers had
been for the same amount and cost, but from Stendall to Edgar?
Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest would have decreased by $6,000
Explanation
$200,000 Revenue − $140,000 COGS = $60,000 Gross Profit on Intra-Entity Transfer × 25%
(Amount in Ending Inventory) = $15,000 Reduction in consolidated net income.
Consolidation Adjustment to Net Income × 40% for Noncontrolling Interest = $6,000 Reduction
in Net Income Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest
On January 1, 2018, Race Corp. acquired 80% of the voting common stock of Gallow Inc. During the
year, Race sold to Gallow for $450,000 goods that cost $330,000. At year-end, Gallow owned 15% of the
goods transferred. Gallow reported net income of $204,000, and Race's net income was $806,000. Race
decided to use the equity method to account for this investment. Assuming there are no excess
amortizations associated with the consolidation, and no other intra-entity asset transfers, what was the net
income attributable to the noncontrolling interest?
Explanation
Subsidiary’s Net Income $204,000 × .20 (Noncontrolling Interest) = $40,800
Webb Co. acquired 100% of Rand Inc. on January 5, 2018. During 2018, Webb sold goods to Rand for
$2,400,000 that cost Webb $1,800,000. Rand still owned 40% of the goods at the end of the year. Cost of
goods sold was $10,800,000 for Webb and $6,400,000 for Rand. What was consolidated cost of goods
sold?
Explanation
Intra-Entity Gross Profit ($2,400,000 – $1,800,000) $600,000 × Intra-Entity Gross Profit
Remaining in Ending Inventory (40%) = $240,000
Gentry Inc. acquired 100% of Gaspard Farms on January 5, 2017. During 2017, Gentry sold Gaspard
Farms $625,000 of goods, which had cost $425,000. Gaspard Farms still owned 12% of the goods at the
end of the year. In 2018, Gentry sold goods with a cost of $800,000 to Gaspard Farms for $1,000,000,
and Gaspard Farms still owned 10% of the goods at year-end. For 2018, the cost of goods sold totaled
$5,400,000 for Gentry, and $1,200,000 for Gaspard Farms. What was consolidated cost of goods soldfor
2018?
Explanation
Intra-Entity Gross Profit ($1,000,000 – $800,000) $200,000 × Intra-Entity Gross Profit
Remaining in Ending Inventory (10%) = $20,000.
X-Beams Inc. owned 70% of the voting common stock of Kent Corp. During 2018, Kent made several
sales of inventory to X-Beams. The total selling price was $180,000 and the cost was $100,000. At the
end of the year, 20% of the goods were still in X-Beams' inventory. Kent's reported net income was
$300,000. Assuming there are no excess amortizations associated with the consolidation, and no other
intra-entity asset transfers, what was the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Kent?
Explanation
Subsidiary’s Net Income ($300,000) – Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred ($16,000) = $284,000 ×
Noncontrolling Interest (30%) = $85,200 Net Income Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest
During 2017, Von Co. sold inventory to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lord Co. The

Bauerly Co. owned 70% of the voting common stock of Devin Co. During 2017, Devin made frequent
sales of inventory to Bauerly. There was deferred intra-entity gross profit of $40,000 in the beginning
inventory and $25,000 of intra-entity gross profit at the end of the year. Devin reported net income of
$137,000 for 2017. Bauerly decided to use the equity method to account for the investment. Assuming
there are no excess amortizations associated with the consolidation, and no other intra-entity asset
transfers, what is the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for 2017?
Explanation
Subsidiary’s Net Income $137,000 + Recognition of prior year Deferred Recognized Gross profit
$40,000 – Deferred gross profit at end of the year $25,000 = $152,000 X Noncontrolling Interest
30% = $45,600 Net Income Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest
Gibson Corp. owned a 90% interest in Sparis Co. Sparis frequently made sales of inventory to Gibson.
The sales, which include a markup over cost of 25%, were $420,000 in 2017 and $500,000 in 2018. At
the end of each year, Gibson still owned 30% of the goods. Net income for Sparis was $912,000 during
2018. Assuming there are no excess amortizations associated with the consolidation, and no other intra-
entity asset transfers, what was the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for 2018?
Explanation
Gross Profit Rate = Gross Profit ÷ COGS = GPR ÷ (1 – GPR) = 25% ÷ (1 + 25%) = .2
Intra-Entity Gross Profit = Transfer Price × GPR (.2)
Subsidiary’s Net Income ($912,000) + Intra-Entity Gross Profit in Ending Inventory for 2017
($25,200) – Intra-Entity Gross Profit in 2018 Inventory Deferred ($30,000) = $907,200 ×
Noncontrolling Interest 10% = $90,720 Net Income Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest
Yukon Co. acquired 75% percent of the voting common stock of Ontario Corp. on January 1, 2018.
During the year, Yukon made sales of inventory to Ontario. The inventory cost Yukon $260,000 and was
sold to Ontario for $390,000. Ontario held $60,000 of the goods in its inventory at the end of the year.
The amount of intra-entity gross profit for which recognition is deferred, and should therefore be
eliminated in the consolidation process at the end of 2018, is:
Explanation
Intra-Entity Gross Profit ($390,000 - $260,000) $130,000 X Intra-Entity Gross Profit Remaining
In Ending Inventory ($60,000 / $390,000) = $20,000

Prince Co. owned 80% of Kile Corp.'s common stock. During October 2018, Kile sold merchandise to
Prince for $140,000. At December 31, 2018, 50% of this merchandise remained in Prince's inventory.
For 2018, gross profit percentages were 30% of sales for Prince and 40% of sales for Kile. The amount of
intra-entity gross profit remaining in ending inventory at December 31, 2018 that should be eliminated in
the consolidation process is:
Explanation
Intra-Entity Gross Profit ($140,000 X .40 (Kile GP Percentage)) $56,000 X Intra-Entity transfers
Remaining In Ending Inventory (50%) = $28,000

transfers had the same markup as sales to outsiders. Skillet still held 40% of the intra-
entity gross profit remaining in ending inventory at the end of 2018. What are
consolidated sales and cost of goods sold, respectively for 2018?
Explanation
Consolidated Sales = Parent’s Sales ($1,120,000) + Subsidiary’s Sales ($420,000) = $1,540,000
– Intra-Entity Transfers ($140,000) = $1,400,000

markup as sales to outsiders. Skillet had resold all of the intra-entity transfers
(purchases) from Pot to outside parties during 2018. What are consolidated sales and
cost of goods sold for 2018?
Explanation
Consolidated Sales = Parent’s Sales $1,120,000 + Subsidiary’s sales $420,000 = $1,540,000 –
Intra-Entity Transfers $140,000 = $1,400,000

CH 5 HOMEWORK
What is the primary reason we defer financial statement recognition of gross profits on intra-entity sales
for goods that remain within the consolidated entity at year-end?
When intra-entity sales remain in ending inventory, control of the goods has not changed.
James Corporation owns 80 percent of Carl Corporation's common stock. During October, Carl sold
merchandise to James for $250,000. At December 31, 40 percent of this merchandise remains in James's
inventory. Gross profit percentages were 20 percent for James and 30 percent for Carl. The amount of
intra-entity gross profit in inventory at December 31 that should be eliminated in the consolidation
process is:
Explanation
Merchandise remaining in James’s inventory $250,000 × 40% = $100,000.
Intra-entity gross profit (based on subsidiary's gross profit rate as the seller) $100,000 × 30% =
$30,000. James’s ownership percentage of Carl has no impact on this computation.
In computing the noncontrolling interest’s share of consolidated net income, how should the subsidiary's
net income be adjusted for intra-entity transfers?
The subsidiary’s reported net income is adjusted for the impact of upstream transfers prior to computing the
noncontrolling interest’s allocation.
Parkette, Inc., acquired a 60 percent interest in Skybox Company several years ago. During 2017, Skybox
sold inventory costing $160,000 to Parkette for $200,000. A total of 18 percent of this inventory was not
sold to outsiders until 2018. During 2018, Skybox sold inventory costing $297,500 to Parkette for
$350,000. A total of 30 percent of this inventory was not sold to outsiders until 2019. In 2018, Parkette
reported cost of goods sold of $607,500 while Skybox reported $450,000. What is the consolidated cost
of goods sold in 2018?
Explanation
Intra-Entity Gross Profit, 12/31/17
Top Company holds 90 percent of Bottom Company’s common stock. In the current year, Top reports
sales of $800,000 and cost of goods sold of $600,000. For this same period, Bottom has sales of $300,000
and cost of goods sold of $180,000. During the current year, Top sold merchandise to Bottom for
$100,000. The subsidiary still possesses 40 percent of this inventory at the current year-end. Top had
established the transfer price based on its normal gross profit rate. What are the consolidated sales and
cost of goods sold?
Explanation
Intra-entity sales and purchases of $100,000 must be eliminated. Additionally, an intra-entity
gross profit of $10,000 must be removed from ending inventory based on a gross profit rate of 25
percent ($200,000 gross profit ÷ $800,000 sales) which is multiplied by the $40,000 ending
balance. This deferral increases cost of goods sold because ending inventory is a negative
component of that computation. Thus, cost of goods sold for consolidation purposes is $690,000
($600,000 + $180,000 – $100,000 + $10,000). $1,000,000 and $690,000
Top Company holds 90 percent of Bottom Company’s common stock. In the current year, Top
reports sales of $800,000 and cost of goods sold of $600,000. For this same period, Bottom has
sales of $300,000 and cost of goods sold of $180,000. During the current year, Bottom sold
merchandise to Top for $100,000. The parent still possesses 40 percent of this inventory at the
current year-end. Bottom had established the transfer price based on its normal gross profit rate.
What are the consolidated sales and cost of goods sold? $1,000,000 and $696,000
Explanation
Intra-entity sales and purchases of $100,000 must be eliminated. Additionally, an intra-entity
gross profit of $16,000 must be removed from ending inventory based on a gross profit rate of 40
percent ($120,000 gross profit / $300,000 Thus, the intra-entity gross profit to be deferred is
$16,000 ($40,000 × 40%). Consequently, consolidated cost of goods sold is $696,000 ($600,000
+ $180,000 – $100,000 + $16,000).
Angela, Inc., holds a 90 percent interest in Corby Company. During 2017, Corby sold inventory costing
$77,000 to Angela for $110,000. Of this inventory, $40,000 worth was not sold to outsiders until 2018.
During 2018, Corby sold inventory costing $72,000 to Angela for $120,000. A total of $50,000 of this
inventory was not sold to outsiders until 2019. In 2018, Angela reported separate net income of $150,000
while Corby's net income was $90,000 after excess amortizations. What is the noncontrolling interest in
the 2018 income of the subsidiary?

In January 2017, Domingo, Inc., acquired 20 percent of the outstanding common stock of
Martes, Inc., for $848,000. This investment gave Domingo the ability to exercise significant
influence over Martes, whose balance sheet on that date showed total assets of $4,669,000 with
liabilities of $989,000. Any excess of cost over book value of the investment was attributed to a
patent having a remaining useful life of 10 years.
In 2017, Martes reported net income of $194,000. In 2018, Martes reported net income of
$237,000. Dividends of $114,000 were declared in each of these two years. What is the equity
method balance of Domingo’s Investment in Martes, Inc., at December 31, 2018? 866,200

Franklin purchases 40 percent of Johnson Company on January 1 for $638,700. Although Franklin did not
use it, this acquisition gave Franklin the ability to apply significant influence to Johnson’s operating and
financing policies. Johnson reports assets on that date of $1,494,000 with liabilities of $566,000. One
building with a seven-year remaining life life is undervalued on Johnson’s books by $306,250. Also,
Johnson’s book value for its trademark (10-year life) is undervalued by $362,500. During the year,
Johnson reports net income of $91,000 while declaring dividends of $30,000. What is the Investment in
Johnson Company balance (equity method) in Franklin’s financial records as of December 31?

Dosmann, Inc., bought all outstanding shares of Lizzi Corporation on January 1, 2016, for $702,000 in
cash. This portion of the consideration transferred results in a fair-value allocation of $52,500 to
equipment and goodwill of $88,500. At the acquisition date, Dosmann also agrees to pay Lizzi’s previous
owners an additional $203,000 on January 1, 2018, if Lizzi earns a 10 percent return on the fair value of
its assets in 2016 and 2017. Lizzi’s profits exceed this threshold in both years. Which of the following is

On January 1, 2016, Phoenix Co. acquired 100 percent of the outstanding voting
shares of Sedona Inc. for $662,000 cash. At January 1, 2016, Sedona’s net assets had
a total carrying amount of $463,400. Equipment (eight-year remaining life) was
undervalued on Sedona’s financial records by $96,000. Any remaining excess fair
over book value was attributed to a customer list developed by Sedona (four-year
remaining life), but not recorded on its books. Phoenix applies the equity method to
account for its investment in Sedona. Each year since the acquisition, Sedona has
declared a $20,500 dividend. Sedona recorded net income of $99,500 in 2016 and
$110,300 in 2017.
Selected account balances from the two companies’ individual records were as

Explanation
James Corporation owns 80 percent of Carl Corporation's common stock. During October, Carl sold
merchandise to James for $222,500. At December 31, 60 percent of this merchandise remains in James's
inventory. Gross profit percentages were 10 percent for James and 20 percent for Carl. The amount of
intra-entity gross profit in inventory at December 31 that should be eliminated in the consolidation
process is: $26,700
Explanation
Merchandise remaining in James’s inventory $222,500 × 60% = $133,500.
Intra-entity gross profit (based on subsidiary's gross profit rate as the seller) $133,500 × 20% =
$26,700. James’s ownership percentage of Carl has no impact on this computation.
Parkette, Inc., acquired a 60 percent interest in Skybox Company several years ago.
During 2017, Skybox sold inventory costing $149,600 to Parkette for $187,000. A
total of 15 percent of this inventory was not sold to outsiders until 2018. During 2018,
Skybox sold inventory costing $208,250 to Parkette for $245,000. A total of 30
percent of this inventory was not sold to outsiders until 2019. In 2018, Parkette
reported cost of goods sold of $582,500 while Skybox reported $352,500. What is the
consolidated cost of goods sold in 2018?
Explanation
Intra-Entity Gross Profit, 12/31/17
Intra-entity gross profit ($187,000 –
$37,400
$149,600)
Inventory remaining at year's end 15%
Intra-entity gross profit, 12/31/17 $ 5,610
Top Company holds 90 percent of Bottom Company’s common stock. In the current
year, Top reports sales of $880,000 and cost of goods sold of $616,000. For this same
period, Bottom has sales of $380,000 and cost of goods sold of $228,000. During the
current year, Top sold merchandise to Bottom for $180,000. The subsidiary still
possesses 60 percent of this inventory at the current year-end. Top had established the
transfer price based on its normal gross profit rate. What are the consolidated sales
and cost of goods sold? $1,080,000 and $696,400.
Explanation
Intra-entity sales and purchases of $180,000 must be eliminated. Additionally, an intra-entity
gross profit of $32,400 must be removed from ending inventory based on a gross profit rate of 30
percent ($264,000 gross profit ÷ $880,000 sales) which is multiplied by the $108,000 ending
balance. This deferral increases cost of goods sold because ending inventory is a negative
component of that computation. Thus, cost of goods sold for consolidation purposes is $696,400
($616,000 + $228,000 – $180,000 + $32,400).
Top Company holds 90 percent of Bottom Company’s common stock. In the current year, Top reports
sales of $908,000 and cost of goods sold of $681,000. For this same period, Bottom has sales of $379,000
and cost of goods sold of $303,200. During the current year, Bottom sold merchandise to Top for
$183,000. The parent still possesses 25 percent of this inventory at the current year-end. Bottom had
established the transfer price based on its normal gross profit rate. What are the consolidated sales and
cost of goods sold? $1,104,000 and $810,350.
Explanation
Intra-entity sales and purchases of $183,000 must be eliminated. Additionally, an intra-entity
gross profit of $9,150 must be removed from ending inventory based on a gross profit rate of 20
percent ($75,800 gross profit / $379,000 Thus, the intra-entity gross profit to be deferred is
$9,150 ($45,750 × 20%). Consequently, consolidated cost of goods sold is $810,350 ($681,000 +
$303,200 – $183,000 + $9,150).
CH 4 EXAM Questions
Mittelstaedt Inc., buys 60 percent of the outstanding stock of Sherry, Inc. Sherry owns a piece of land that
cost $295,000 but had a fair value of $660,000 at the acquisition date. What value should be attributed to
this land in a consolidated balance sheet at the date of takeover?
Explanation
At the date control is obtained, the parent consolidates subsidiary assets at fair value ($660,000 in this case)
regardless of the parent’s percentage ownership.
Jordan, Inc., holds 75 percent of the outstanding stock of Paxson Corporation. Paxson currently owes
Jordan $597,500 for inventory acquired over the past few months. In preparing consolidated financial
statements, what amount of this debt should be eliminated? $597,500
Explanation
In consolidating the subsidiary's figures, all intra-entity balances must be eliminated in their entirety for
external reporting purposes. Even though the subsidiary is less than fully owned, the parent nonetheless
controls it.
On January 1, 2017, Grand Haven, Inc., reports net assets of $933,350 although equipment (with a four-
year remaining life) having a book value of $512,000 is worth $582,750 and an unrecorded patent is
valued at $46,350. Van Buren Corporation pays $840,360 on that date to acquire an 80 percent equity
ownership in Grand Haven. If the patent has a remaining life of nine years, at what amount should the
patent be reported on Van Buren's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018?
Explanation
An asset acquired in a business combination is initially valued at 100% acquisition-date fair value and
subsequently amortized its useful life.
Selected account balances for the two companies from their separate operations were
as follows:
Pride Star
2018 Revenues $343,700 $196,800
2018 Expenses 241,800 134,700
Explanation
Selected account balances for the two companies from their separate operations were
as follows:
Pride Star
2018 Revenues $343,700 $196,800
2018 Expenses 241,800 134,700
Assuming that Pride, in its internal records, accounts for its investment in Star using the equity
method, what amount of retained earnings would Pride report on its January 1, 2018 consolidated
balance sheet?
Explanation
Under the equity method, consolidated RE = parent’s RE. answer: $172,500
Amie, Inc., has 141,000 shares of $1 par value stock outstanding. Prairie Corporation acquired
42,300 of Amie’s shares on January 1, 2015, for $84,600 when Amie’s net assets had a total fair
value of $305,750. On July 1, 2018, Prairie bought an additional 84,600 shares of Amie from a
single stockholder for $4 per share. Although Amie’s shares were selling in the $3 range around
July 1, 2018, Prairie forecasted that obtaining control of Amie would produce significant revenue
synergies to justify the premium price paid. If Amie’s identifiable net assets had a fair value of
$426,350 at July 1, 2018, how much goodwill should Prairie report in its postcombination
consolidated balance sheet?

What is the consolidated net income before allocation to the controlling and noncontrolling
interests?
Explanation
West Company acquired 60 percent of Solar Company for $331,500 when Solar’s
book value was $431,500. The newly comprised 40 percent noncontrolling interest
had an assessed fair value of $221,000. Also at the acquisition date, Solar had a
trademark (with a 10-year life) that was undervalued in the financial records by
$81,000. Also, patented technology (with a 5-year life) was undervalued by $61,000.
Two years later, the following figures are reported by these two companies
(stockholders’ equity accounts have been omitted):
Assuming Solar Company has declared no dividends, what are the noncontrolling interest’s share
of the subsidiary’s income and the ending balance of the noncontrolling interest in the
subsidiary? Answer: $31,880 and $300,960.
Explanation
On January 1, Park Corporation and Strand Corporation had condensed balance sheets
as follows:
Park Strand
Current assets $118,250 $37,000
Noncurrent assets 98,500 44,500
Total assets $216,750 $81,500
Current liabilities $ 50,250 $31,500
Long-term debt 74,500
Stockholders' equity 92,000 50,000
Total liabilities and equities$216,750 $81,500
On January 2, Park borrowed $65,200 and used the proceeds to obtain 80 percent of
the outstanding common shares of Strand. The acquisition price was considered
proportionate to Strand’s total fair value. The $65,200 debt is payable in 10 equal
annual principal payments, plus interest, beginning December 31. The excess fair
value of the investment over the underlying book value of the acquired net assets is
allocated to inventory (60 percent) and to goodwill (40 percent).
On a consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, what should be the amount for
noncurrent liabilities? Answer: $133,180
Explanation
Add the two book values and include 90% (the $58,680 noncurrent portion) of the loan taken out by Park to
acquire Strand.

On June 30, 2018, Morey paid $626,500 for an additional 70 percent of Amsterdam,
thus increasing its overall ownership to 95 percent. The price paid for the 70 percent
acquisition was proportionate to Amsterdam’s total fair value. At June 30, the
carrying amounts of Amsterdam’s assets and liabilities approximated their fair values.
Any remaining excess fair value was attributed to goodwill.
Amsterdam reports the following amounts at December 31, 2018 (credit balances
shown in parentheses):
Revenues $(313,000)
Expenses 218,000
Retained earnings, January 1 (275,100)
Dividends declared, October 1 20,000
Common stock (500,000)
Amsterdam’s revenue and expenses were distributed evenly throughout the year and
no changes in Amsterdam’s stock have occurred.
Explanation
a.
Amsterdam fair value implied by price paid by Morey $626,500 ÷ 70% = $895,000
b.

Allister Barone
Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's
consolidated financial statements for 2018:
Explanation
Customer list amortization = $70,000 ÷ 5 years = $14,000 per year
Consolidated totals
Inventory = $931,450 (add the two book values and subtract the ending intra-entity gross profit of
$8,550)
Sales = $1,886,000 (add the two book values and subtract the $194,000 intra-entity transfer)
Cost of goods sold = $854,550 (add the two book values and subtract the intra-entity transfer and add
[to defer] ending inventory intra-entity gross profit)
Operating expenses = $614,000 (add the two book values and the amortization expense for the period)
Gross profit deferral is allocated to the noncontrolling interest because the transfer was upstream from Barone
to Allister.

Conversion from markup on cost to gross profit rate
The following selected account balances are from the individual financial records of
these two companies as of December 31, 2018:
Protrade Seacraft
Retained earnings,
810,000 250,000
1/1/18
Explanation
a.
Consolidated cost of goods sold
Consolidated inventory
Because all intra-entity sales were downstream, the deferrals do not affect Seacraft. Thus, the noncontrolling
interest share is 30% of the $86,000 reported net income (revenues minus cost of goods sold and expenses) or
$25,800.
b.
Consolidated inventory
Since all intra-entity sales are upstream, the effect on Seacraft's net income must be reflected in the
noncontrolling interest computation:
c.
Because the transfer was made downstream, it has no effect on the noncontrolling interest. Thus, Seacraft's
reported net income ($86,000 computed as revenues minus cost of goods sold and expenses) is used for this
computation. The 30 percent outside ownership will be allotted consolidated net income of $25,800 (30% ×
$86,000).
On January 1, 2016, Plymouth Corporation acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock
of Sander Company in exchange for $1,200,000 cash. At that time, although Sander’s book value
was $925,000, Plymouth assessed Sander’s total business fair value at $1,500,000. Since that
time, Sander has neither issued nor reacquired any shares of its own stock.
The book values of Sander's individual assets and liabilities approximated their acquisition-date
fair values except for the patent account, which was undervalued by $350,000. The undervalued
patents had a five-year remaining life at the acquisition date. Any remaining excess fair value
was attributed to goodwill. No goodwill impairments have occurred.
Sander regularly sells inventory to Plymouth. Below are details of the intra-entity inventory sales
for the past three years:
Separate financial statements for these two companies as of December 31, 2018, follow:

Deferred gross profit for 12/31/18 intra-entity inventory ($160,000 × 25%) = $(40,000)
Recognized gross profit for 1/1/18 intra-entity inventory ($125,000 × 28%) = $35,000
Which of the following is correct for two companies that want to file a consolidated tax return as an
affiliated group? One company must hold at least 80 percent of the other company’s voting stock
How does the amortization of tax-deductible goodwill affect the computation of a parent company’s
income taxes? It is a deductible item over a 15-year period
Which of the following is not a reason for two companies to file separate tax returns? Intra-entity
dividends are tax-free only on separate returns
Plumas, Inc., owns 85 percent of Santa Cruz Corporation. Both companies have been profitable for many
years. During the current year, the parent sold for $100,000 merchandise costing $70,000 to the
subsidiary, which still held 20 percent of this merchandise at the end of the year. Assume that the tax rate
is 25 percent and that separate tax returns are filed. What deferred income tax asset amount is created?

Intra-Entity Gross Profit:
Plumas, Inc., owns 90 percent of Santa Cruz Corporation. Both companies have been
profitable for many years. During the current year, the parent sold for $143,500
merchandise costing $90,000 to the subsidiary, which still held 20 percent of this
merchandise at the end of the year. Assume that the tax rate is 40 percent and that a
consolidated tax return was filed. What deferred income tax asset amount is created? $0
Explanation
Explanation:
Recognition of this gross profit is not required on a consolidated tax return.
Garrison holds a controlling interest in Robertson's outstanding stock. For the current
year, the following information has been gathered about these two companies:
Garrison Robertson
Separate
$ 300,000 $200,000
operating income
Explanation
a.
Operating income$450,000
Taxes to be paid$180,000
The affiliated group would be taxed on its operating income of $450,000 (the $50,000 intra-entity gain is
deferred). Intra-entity income and dividends are not relevant because a consolidated return is filed.
b.
Total taxes to be paid are $200,000. Robertson would have to pay $80,000 or 40% of its $200,000 operating
income. Garrison would pay $120,000 or 40% of its $300,000 operating income. The intra-entity gain is not
deferred because separate returns are being filed. Intra-entity dividends are not taxable because the parties still
qualify as an affiliated group even though separate returns are being filed.
c.
Robertson must report an income tax expense of $80,000 or 40% of its $200,000 operating income.
Garrison records its expense based on the revenue recognized during the period. Thus, the expense is
computed on an operating income of $250,000 (the net intra-entity gain is not recognized in this period) along
with equity income from Robertson of $84,000 (70% of that company's $120,000 after-tax income). Garrison
will record an income tax expense of $100,000 in connection with the operating income ($250,000 × 40%) and
$6,720 resulting from its equity income ($84,000 × 20% × 40%). Total expense to be reported amounts to
$186,720 for Garrison and Robertson ($80,000 + $100,000 + $6,720).
d.
Garrison will pay $120,000 in connection with its operating income ($300,000 × 40%) and $2,400 because of
the dividends received from Robertson. Garrison will receive $30,000 in dividends based on its 60%
ownership. Of this total, only $6,000 (20%) is taxable. Thus, at a 40% rate, the tax on the dividends would
amount to $2,400 ($6,000 × 40%). The total income taxes payable by Garrison is $122,400 ($120,000 +
$2,400).
