I am ok with everything but the interco adjustment.

I understand that even though they have not received the money we still need to adjust.

I had adjusted the cash to 1250, payables to 2450
but in the answer the have got cash at 1750 and payables at 2950


Is anyone able to explain why, I am ok with everything else.

Many thanks

Morning,

If the cash is in transit, Jenny will have already accounted for the money leaving them, hence their accounts are right and need no adjustment. However, Ian has £500,000 coming in which isn't accounted for so needs to be added on.

Hi,

On 27 Dec x2 Jenny Ltd sent £500,000 to Ian as a payment on account. Ian Plc had not yet received this money by y/e.

This says that they have payed on account which would imply it would be as an account payable on Jenny Ltd and an account receivable on Ian PLC. The adjustment would be to adjust those accounts by that amount on the consolidated accounts.

Hope this helps.
