Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

C. Interviews

Explanation:

In an interview, there is personal contact between the interviewer and the person interviewed. In this context, first impressions are very important (this is why people are advice to dress and groom themselves well before going to an interview).

A postive first impression can result in a general positive bias when analyzing the person. This is the halo effect and can become helpful in securing the job.

On the contrary, a negative first impression can result in a negative bias when analyzing the person. Negative qualities are ascribed to the person without much basis. This is tthe Devil's Horns effect and can result in the loss of the job opportunity.

1. An 80%-owned subsidiary sells merchandise to its parent at a markup of 25% on cost. During the current year, the parent paid
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The unrealised profit (PURP) of $5,000 [ (125,000 * .20) * (.2) ]  should be subtracted from the profit share of Non-Controlling Interest.

Explanation:

When we prepare consolidated financial statements, we treat the companies of group as a single entity. That's why the intra-group transactions must be removed the consolidated statements. This involve adjustment of current accounts, unrealised profit on sale of goods/non-current asset, loan given by one group company to another etc.

When goods are sold by one group company to another at a markup and the buyer has not yet sold it to the third party, then the markup (profit) loading on these items is unrealised from group's point of view. This needs to be removed from the consolidated accounts because no one can make profit by trading with himself. This profit is termed as realised when the goods are sold to the third party. In the individual accounts, profit on this transaction has a credit balance so to remove it we debit the "cost of goods sold of group" and a credit entry to it is made to "inventory". This credit entry to inventory bring down the balance of inventory to what was the cost of that inventory to the group. Moreover, the recording of revenue by seller and inventory by buyer on intra-group sales and purchase is also adjusted.

After all the adjustments are made, the profit is distributed between parent's retained earnings and non-controlling interest. Now if the seller of goods is subsidiary, like in this case, the amount of unreaslised profit is deducted from NCI's profit share to calculate the profit attributable to parent's retained earnings.
