Chapter 11: Consolidated financial statements: intragroup transactions

Review questions

1. Why is it necessary to make adjustments for intragroup transactions? (LO1)

The consolidated financial statements are the statements of the group, an economic entity
consisting of the parent and its subsidiaries.
The consolidated financial statements then can only contain profits, assets and liabilities that
relate to parties external to the group.
Adjustments must then be made for intragroup transactions as these are internal to the economic
entity, and do not reflect the effects of transactions with external parties.
This is also consistent with the entity concept of consolidation, which defines the group as the
net assets of the parent and the net assets of the subsidiary. Transactions between these parties
must then be adjusted in full as both parties are within the economic entity

4. Where an intragroup transaction involves a depreciable asset, why is depreciation


expense adjusted? (LO3)

The cost of the asset to the group is different from that recorded by the acquirer of the
depreciable
asset within an intragroup transaction. The acquirer records depreciation on the
cost to the
acquirer while in the consolidated financial statements, the group wants to show depreciation
calculated on cost to the group. Hence an adjustment is necessary.
If a profit is made on an intragroup sale of a depreciable asset, then the cost of the asset to the
group is less than the cost recorded by the acquirer of the asset. Hence an adjustment is necessary
to reduce the depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation in relation to the asset

Question 11.3

Intragroup transactions

Dingo Ltd owns all of the shares of Bilby Ltd. In relation to the following intragroup
transactions, all parts of which are independent unless specified, prepare the consolidation
worksheet adjusting entries for preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at
30 June 2019. Assume an income tax rate of 30%.

(a) On 1 January 2018, Dingo Ltd sold inventory costing $6000 to Bilby Ltd at a transfer
price of $8000. On 1 September 2018, Bilby Ltd sold half these items of inventory back
to Dingo Ltd, receiving $3000 from Dingo Ltd. Of the remaining inventory kept by
Bilby Ltd, half was sold in January 2019 to Goanna Ltd at a loss of $200.
(b) On 1 January 2019, Bilby Ltd sold an item of plant to Dingo Ltd for $2000.
Immediately before the sale, Bilby Ltd had the item of plant on its accounts for $3000.
Bilby Ltd depreciated items at 5% p.a. on the diminishing balance and Dingo Ltd used
the straight-line method over 10 years.
(c) On 1 July 2018, Dingo Ltd sold a motor vehicle to Bilby Ltd for $12 000. This had a
carrying amount to Dingo Ltd of $9600. Both entities depreciate motor vehicles at a
rate of 10% p.a. on cost.
(d) During the 2017–18 period, Dingo Ltd sold inventory to Bilby Ltd for $9000, recording
a before-tax profit of $1800. Half this inventory was unsold by Bilby Ltd at 30 June
2018.
(e) Bilby Ltd sells second-hand machinery. Dingo Ltd sold one of its depreciable assets
(original cost $80 000, accumulated depreciation $64 000) to Bilby Ltd for $10 000 on 1
January 2019. Bilby Ltd had not resold the item by 30 June 2019.
(f) On 1 May 2019, Bilby Ltd sold inventory costing $300 to Dingo Ltd for $360 on credit.
On 30 June 2019, only half of these goods had been sold by Dingo Ltd, but Dingo Ltd
had paid $280 back to Bilby Ltd.

Question 11.6

Consolidated worksheet entries, rationale for adjustments

Tasmanian Ltd owns all the issued shares of Tiger Ltd, having acquired its ownership
interest on 1 August 2013. The accountant, Ms Echidna, is preparing the consolidated
financial statements at 30 June 2019, and, as a part of preparing the consolidation
worksheet for Tasmanian Ltd, is analysing the intragroup transactions between the parent
and its subsidiary.

The intragroup transactions under analysis are as follows (assume a tax rate of 30%).

(a) On 1 February 2019, Tiger Ltd sold inventory to Tasmanian Ltd for $15 000, recording
a before-tax profit of $3000. By 30 June 2019, Tasmanian Ltd has sold one-third of
these to other entities for $6000.
(b) On 1 January 2018, Tasmanian Ltd sold an item of machinery to Tiger Ltd that Tiger
Ltd classified as inventory. At the date of sale, Tasmanian Ltd had recorded the asset at
a carrying amount of $150 000 (net of $20 000 depreciation, calculated using a 10% p.a.
straight-line method). Tiger Ltd recorded the asset at $160 000. Tiger Ltd sold it to Oz
Animals Ltd on 15 August 2019 for $100 000.
(c) Tasmanian Ltd supplies motor vehicles to its executives, and the managing director is
supplied with a new Ferrari every 2 years. On 1 January 2017, as the managing
director of Tasmanian Ltd wanted a new car, the company sold the Ferrari to Tiger Ltd
to be used by the newly appointed accounting graduate. At the date of sale, the car had
a carrying amount of $240 000, and was sold to Tiger Ltd for $260 000. The vehicle is
depreciated at 20% p.a. straight-line by Tiger Ltd, and is still being used by the
accounting graduate.
(d) Tasmanian Ltd installed new computing systems at a cost of $825 000 on 1 September
2018. These are depreciated evenly over a 5-year period. To assist in the installation and
training, Tiger Ltd sent one of its young computer experts to Tasmanian Ltd for a 6-
month period, charging the company $100 000 for the services provided.

Required
(a) Prepare the consolidation worksheet entries at 30 June 2019 to adjust for the effects of
the above inter-entity transactions.
(b) Ms Echidna is concerned that the auditors may require her to explain the adjustments
she has made. Provide suitable explanations for transactions (a) and (b) above.
