|
Retained earnings

Answer example:
Intragroup example (unrelated to this Case study): Debentures issued within the group accrued $300 interest at year-end. Assuming this adjustment was not made in a worksheet the answer would be:
1. The accounts: Interest expense, Interest Revenue, Interest receivable and Interest payable are incorrect.
2. The above accounts have not been adjusted to eliminate the intragroup interest accrued of $300.
The individual companies would have passed the following entries:
Company A Company B
Dr Interest Receivable $300 Dr Interest expense $300
Cr Interest Revenue $300 Cr Interest Payable $300
3. The elimination entry that should have been passed in the worksheet to eliminate this intragroup transaction as it is not a transaction with an external party:
Dr Interest payable
Cr Interest Expense
Dr Interest Revenue
Cr Interest Receivable
4. If this error is not corrected, net assets and equity will not change for the Group, however total assets and total liabilities will be overstated by $300 each in the Balance sheet. The Group profit overall will not change, however total revenue and total expenses would both be overstated by $300 in the Group's Income statement.
PART B Worksheet
Required
Prepare the consolidation worksheet as at 30 June 2020, showing all entries including the corrected entries discussed in Part A. Round your answers to zero decimal places.
