ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION: Lecture 15 – INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS

UNDERSTANDING INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS

The parent may enter into transactions with its subsidiary. These intercompany transactions must be eliminated when preparing consolidated
financial statements because the parent and its subsidiary are viewed as a single reporting entity. This can be simplified by the statement, “You
cannot transact with your own self.”

The proponents of the accounting standards would like to ensure that then readers of the consolidated financial statements will not be confused,
and may always think that the financial information that they are reading is coming from a single entity.

PROBLEM: ABUSCOM 15-01, PRECY COMPANY & MERCY CORPORATION

Precy Company and Mercy Corporation are related entities because Precy is the mother company while Mercy is the subsidiary. Precy purchased
merchandise worth P1,000,000 and sells them to Mercy for P1,500,000 realizing a gross profit of P500,000.

The gross profit shall be realized in the books of Precy.

If consolidated financial statements will be prepared, how much gross profit shall be reported? (AFI)

SOLUTION TO PROBLEM: ABUSCOM 15-01, PRECY COMPANY & MERCY CORPORATION

The answer is none. Because the group of companies cannot be benefited even if Precy Company continuously sold its products to Mercy. It is
simply transferring the money from one pocket to another pocket of the same person.

This is the logic why intercompany transactions should be eliminated in preparing consolidated financial statements. It is the same as if, nothing
happened. (AFI)

PROBLEM: ABUSCOM 15-02, ALYANNA COMPANY & XAIKY CORPORATION

On January 1, 2023, Alyanna Company acquired 80% interest in Xaiky Corporation. The business combination resulted to goodwill of P3,000.
On this date, Xaiky’s equity comprised of P50,000 share capital and P24,000 retained earnings. NCI was measured at its proportionate share in
Xaiky’s net identifiable assets.

Xaiky’s assets and liabilities on January 1, 2023 approximate their fair values except for the following:

Carry. Amt. Fair Value FVA¹


Inventory P23,000 P31,000 P8,000

²Remaining life is four years

During 2023, the following intercompany transactions occurred:

goods are held in inventory by Xaiky by year-end.

Alyanna’s ending inventory included P4,000 from this purchase.

SOLUTION TO PROBLEM: ABUSCOM 15-02, ALYANNA COMPANY & XAIKY CORPORATION

Step 1: Analysis of effects of intercompany transactions

 Transaction “a” is downstream because the seller is the parent.


 Transaction “b” is upstream because the seller is the subsidiary.

The unrealized profits in ending inventory are determined and presented below.

Downstream Upstream Total


Sales price of intercompany sale P20,000ᵃ P12,000
Cost of intercompany sale (12,000) (9,600)ᵇ
Profit from intercompany sale P8,000 P2,400
Multiply by unsold portion at year-end 1/4ᶜ 4/12ᵈ
Unrealized gross profit P2,000 P800 P2,800

ᵃP12,000 cost ÷ (100% - 40% profit on selling price) = P20,000

ᵇP12,000 selling price ÷ (100% + 25% profit on cost) = P9,600

ᶜGiven in the problem, a quarter of these goods are held in inventory

ᵈP4,000 unsold out of P12,000 purchased

Journal entries for the consolidation of financial statements:

12/31/23 Sales (P20,000 + P12,000) P32,000


Cost of goods sold P32,000
To eliminate intercompany sales

12/31/23 Cost of goods sold (P2,000 + P800) P2,800


Inventory P2,800
To eliminate unrealized profits in inventory

12/31/23 Retained earnings – Alyanna (Downstream) P2,000


Retained earnings – Xaiky (Upstream) 800
Income summary P2,800
