Answer 1

Answer:

A. $230,400

Explanation:

600,000 x 40% = 240,000

260,000 - 156,000 = 104,000 transfers of goods intra-entity at sale price

we divide by the markup to know the cost:

104,000 / 1.3 = 80,000 cost of the goods

gross margin 104,000 - 80,000 = 24,000

we will eliminate 40% of the gross margin

24,000 x 40% = 9,600

This amount will be eliminate from the incoem statemnet:

240,000 - 9,600 = 230,400
