Hiya,

Does anybody know how to eliminate intra-group trading when not all of the goods had been sold during the period ? I can't find anything in my text book about it.

Thanks

    it is in my book under unrealised profits. which it says

    it is unlikely that you will be asked to account for unrealised profits on intra group sales, however you may be asked to explain how and why this is necessary

    My notes dont say that! I got a question in an Assignment that had unrealised profits and spent ages trying to understand how to do it.

    only realised profits can be included in the income statement, so it says in my book (but this is bpp so i would rather believe in a winnie the pooh book)

    Hi
    if for example 50% of goods were not sold you decrease 50% of profit on goods sold between companies. then you debit cost of sells and credit inventories - as far as I remember :)
