Answer:

Profit for the year 2011:

=Transfer Price-Inventory Cost

=100,000-80,000

=$20,000

Profit Rate on Transfer Price:

=(20,000\div100,000) *100

=20%

Unrealised Profit on unsold stock for the year 2011:

=$30,000*20%

=$6,000

Similarly for the year 2012:

Profit=130,000-110,000=20,000

Profit Rate= (20,000\div110,000)*100

             =15.3846%

Unrealised profit on unsold stock for year 2012:

=26,000*15.3846%

=3999.999 = $4000

Difference in profits of two years

=6000-4000

=$2000

Since entry is to be passed for the realisation of profit for the year 2011,so Income will be credited.

and for the year 2012,unrealised profit has to b deffered,so Investemnt in shove company wil be debited.

ENTRY:

Investment in Shove co. 2000

       Income from Shove co.       2000
