  • In case of recording the eliminating entry, reverse all the journal entries. Here the elimination entry to reject the income from subsidiary is passed.
  • The income assigned to non-controlling interest can be eliminated by debiting the income to the non-controlling interest account and crediting the non-controlling interest account.

  • The subsidiary stock is held within the consolidated entity and it does not represent the claims from outsiders. Hence, the subsidiary stock and retained earnings account should be eliminated.
  • The profit realized from the disposal of building and equipment should be recorded as a differential.
  • The depreciation expense is considered as an expense account thus, the increase in depreciation expense should be debited.
  • Goodwill was impaired and should be reduced to $14,000.
  • M Co. reported an account payable of $9,000 to G Co. thus, it would affect both accounts payable and accounts receivable. To eliminate this inter-company transaction, entry should be reversed.

Company X transfers an asset that originally cost of P10,000 to its wholly owned subsidiary Company Y in 20X1. The transfer price was P13,000. Both companies charge straight-line depreciation at 10 per cent per annum. A full year's charge is made in the year of acquisition and none in the year of disposal. Company X had owned the asset for five years prior to the period in which the asset was transferred. Ignoring the effects of deferred tax, what is the net adjustment required to group profit in 20X1? * Your answer
