In preparing the consolidation worksheet for the Bolger Corporation and its 60 percent owned subsidiary Feldman Company,
Question:
In preparing the consolidation worksheet for the Bolger Corporation and its 60 percent owned subsidiary Feldman Company, the Bolger bookkeeper proposed the following consolidation entries: |
Worksheet Entries | Debit | Credit |
Money | 87,000 | |
Accounts payable | 87,000 | |
To consolidate the unpaid balance of intercompany inventory sales in 20X5. | ||
cost of goods sold | 16,200 | |
Subsidiary income | 16,200 | |
To consolidate unrealized inventory gains as of December 31, 20X5. | ||
Subsidiary income | 189,000 | |
Sales | 189,000 | |
To consolidate intercompany sales for 20X5. | ||
Bolger's bookkeeper is a recent graduate of Oddball University, and while the dollar amounts on record are correct, he had some confusion determining which accounts needed adjustment. All intercorporate sales in 20X5 were from Feldman to Bolger, and Feldman sells inventory at cost plus 40 per cent of cost. Bolger uses the fully adjusted equity method to account for his interest in Feldman. |
Required: |
a. | What percentage of the intercompany inventory transfer was resold before the end of 20X5? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole percent.) |
