Pop owns 87% of the common stock of Sugar. On December 31, 2017, Pop's Receivables include $296,880 that Pop advanced to Sugar. What portion (stated in dollars) of the intercompany receivable should be eliminated in preparing Pop's consolidated financial statements

Respuesta :

Parrain

Answer: $296,880

Explanation:

Pop owns more than 50% of Sugar which means that Sugar is a subsidiary of Pop's. When this happens, trade between the two are not shown in the consolidated financial statement unless the goods traded have been sold off to a third party.

As these goods have not, and are still considered accounts receivable to Sugar, the entire amount will be removed from the consolidated financial statements.
