Patti Company owns 80% of the common stock of Shannon, Inc. In the current year, Patti reports sales of $10,000,000 and cost of goods sold of $7,500,000. For the same period, Shannon has sales of $200,000 and cost of goods sold of $160,000. During the year, Patti sold merchandise to Shannon for $60,000 at a price based on the normal markup. At the end of the year, Shannon still possesses 30 percent of this inventory. Assume the same information, except Shannon sold inventory to Patti.

Compute consolidated sales.

$10,140,000

Explanation:

To make consolidated statements company needs to consolidate the financial data of its own and its subsidiary.

Revenue can be consolidated of parent and subsidiary as follow:

First

Add revenue of both companies

Total Sales = Patti Company sales + Shannon Inc. sales

Total Sales = $10,000,000 + $200,000 = $10,200,000

Now deduct the sale made to each other because sales mad within the group is not recorded for consolidation purposes and it is not a sale for a group it is an internal group transfer.

Consolidated Sales = Total sales - Internal Sales

Consolidated Sales = $10,200,000 - $60,000 = $10,140,000
