FNST question

Hi all,
Just revising for FNST - and have a question:
When dealing with a inter company sale/purchase on the statement of comprehensive income, I understand that you deduct the selling price both from revenue and cost of sales, but with the unrealised profit do you add this back or deduct it? I thought it was a deduction but working through greenlight the answer was to add back?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

As the profit has been overstated (as it has not yet been realised by the group as a whole) you need to reduce profit. This is done by increasing the cost of sales so yes, it is added back.0

Hi all, sorry I still dont think I have grasped this yet!
I understand that the selling price of the intercompany sale/purchase is deducted from revenue, but I keep getting confused on what to deduct from cost of sales! I did think it was selling price then add back unrealised profit, but now I have read some of my notes and I have written what the stock cost plus the amount sold ie 2/3? So confused!0
