Section B - Case 1

Scenario: GlobalTech PLC acquired 80% of CloudServe Ltd on 1 July 20X5. Year-end is 31 December 20X5. GlobalTech paid $5m cash and issued 1m shares (market value $2 each). CloudServe's net assets at acquisition were $6m. Fair value of NCI at acquisition was $1.5m. Post-acquisition, CloudServe sold goods to GlobalTech for $1m at a 25% mark-up on cost. Half of these goods remain in inventory at year-end. CloudServe's profit for the full year was $800k (accruing evenly).

What is the net adjustment required to consolidated Cost of Sales for the intra-group trading and PUP?

Answer options:

A.

Deduct $1,000,000

B.

Deduct $900,000

C.

Add $100,000

D.

Deduct $1,100,000

How to approach this question

1. Deduct the intra-group sales value ($1,000,000) from Cost of Sales. 2. Add the PUP ($100,000) to Cost of Sales (to reduce profit). Net adjustment = -1,000,000 + 100,000 = -900,000.

Full Answer

B.Deduct $900,000✓ Correct
Two adjustments are made to consolidated Cost of Sales: 1) Deduct the $1,000,000 intra-group purchase to eliminate double counting. 2) Add the $100,000 PUP to increase Cost of Sales, thereby reducing consolidated profit and inventory. The net adjustment is a deduction of $900,000.

Common mistakes

Deducting both amounts, resulting in a $1.1m deduction.
