No you cannot. The same applies to Parent and Subsidiary. So remember there is no profit between P and S.

9. Inter-company transactions
Provision for unrealised profit (purp)
Even if amounts are not equal they still have to be eliminated.
At consolidation we treat P and S as if one entity.
P is the seller
Profits of P are reduced in retained earnings via W5.
Adjust to eliminate the profit in P and the cost in S to bring it back to the original cost
S is the seller
Profits of S are reduced in retained earnings via W2 by splitting it between P and NCI in W5.
Inter-company transactions

10. PURPS
P sells goods to $100 Cost 75 Profit 25 S has therefore goods in $100. At consolidation we treat P and S as if one entity. An adjustment must be made to eliminate the profit in P and the cost in S to bring it back to the original cost. We must adjust to eliminate $25 profit for the seller and reduce inventory for the buyer by $25.

11. Inter-company transactions
PURPs
With a markup
convert to margin %
With a margin
Mark-up
100 + mark-up
= margin %
Price * margin % = profit
Inter-company transactions

12. PURPs with a margin
P sells goods $200 to a margin of 20% P is the seller Margin means profit = 20% * 200 = $40 Therefore $40 is eliminated in S’s inventory because S is the buyer to bring it back to original cost via cross casting during consolidation. $40 is eliminated in P’s profit via retained earnings in W5 because P is the seller, the one making the profit.

13. PURPs with a mark-up
P sells goods $200 to a mark-up of 25% mark-up mark-up Apply 20% margin to $200 = $40 profit
= = or 20%

17. Example Two years ago an item of property plant and equipment (PPE) with a carrying value of $2,000 was sold from one group company to another for $2,500. At the date of the transfer the asset had a remaining useful life of 5 years. Required. Calculate the net purp adjustment required in the group accounts. Price – Cost = profit 2,500-2,000=500 purp 2 years ago Depreciation 500/5*2 years = $200 depreciation, therefore still $300 left of profit in the carrying amount. Or 2500/5 years = 500 per year depreciation. Carrying cost after 2 years = 1500 * 20% = $300. Retained earnings reduced by $300 and PPE reduced by $300.
