When an intercompany inventory profit resulting from a sale by a less than 100% owned subsidiary to its parent is eliminated, th
joja [24]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

It is true that when an intercompany inventory profit resulting from a sale by a less than 100% owned subsidiary to its parent is eliminated, the full amount (100%) of the decrease in profit is deducted from consolidated net income available to the parent shareholders.

Unrealized profits are the profit element not earned because they were not sold to third parties, it was basically a transfer between one company in a group (for example subsidiary) and another company in the same group (for example to the parent company).  

At the year-end, if the goods are still in inventory, any profit thereon cannot be recognized but eliminated. Therefore for consolidation purposes, this unrealized profit element is taken out of inventory value in order to reduce the inventory value back down to the lower of cost or net realizable value.  

This is done by crediting the inventory amount and debiting consolidated retained earnings.

Crank
The answer is D. $600. In general, the employee discount didn't result in taxable income to the recipient. The amount that may be excluded in relation to services purchased by employees, however, is limited to 20% of the amount normally charged to non-employee customers. As a result, Norbert would be able to exclude an employee discount up to 20% x $2,000 or $400 with the remaining $600 included in gross income.
