According to the FASB, it is optional for companies to allocate part of the effect of deferring intercompany gains on sales of inventory to noncontrolling interests

Explanation / Answer

20) The correct option is c) the date at which the acquirer obtains control.

21) The correct option is a) Negative $9,000 in 2016 and positive $1,000 in 2017.

As the holding company sold the machine to subsidiary company with a profit of $10,000 ($50,000-$40,000) in 2016, this gain of $10,000 need to be deducted from the consolidated net income and excess depreciation charged in 2016 and 2017 need to be added back in 2016 and 2017 [($50,000/10)-($40,000/10) = $1,000]
Therefore the net increase in 2016 is $9,000 ($10,000-$1,000) and the net increase in 2017 is $1,000.

22) False, the downstream sale of inventory is one in which the parent sells inventory to subsidiary.

23) False, It is not optional, it is compulsory to allocate the part of intercompany gains on sale of inventory to non controlling interest in the same year in which it is allocated to parent.
