1. (Inventory) This problem is meant to help you understand the thought behind the elimination entries for intercompany inventory sales, when some the items are sold to outsiders during the year, and some are not sold to outsiders until the following year. In each part, assume that in Year 1 Sub owns 1000 items that cost it $4 each. Assume Parent owns 100% of Sub. (33)
   1. Now assume that, instead of selling 600 items to an unrelated party, Sub sold all 1,000 items (cost =$4 each) to the parent for $5 each during Year 1. By the end of the year, the Parent had sold 600 items to an outside party for $7 each. In Year 2, Parent sold the remaining 400 units to outsiders for $7 each.
   2. What consolidation entry is needed in Year 1 to prevent consolidated sales from being overstated because of the intercompany sale of 1,000 items? (3)
   3. What consolidation entry is needed at the end of Year 1 to ensure the 400 items in inventory at the end of year 1 are reported at the cost to the group of $4 each, not the cost to parent of $5 each? (3)
   4. What entry would Parent make when it sold 400 units to outsiders for $7 each in Year 2? (3)
   5. What consolidation entry is needed to ensure that, in Year 2, the consolidated cost of goods sold related to these 400 items is based on the cost to the group of $4 each, not the cost to Parent of $5 each? (3)
