Note 1 – Inter-company sales
Alpha sells products to Beta and Gamma, making a profit of 25% on the cost of the products
sold. All the sales to Gamma took place in the post-acquisition period. Details of the purchases of
the products by Beta and Gamma, together with the amounts included in opening and closing
inventories in respect of the products, are given below:
The purchase of shares in Gamma entitled Alpha to appoint a representative to the board of
directors of Gamma. This meant that Alpha was potentially able to participate in, and significantly
influence, the policy decisions of Gamma.
● No other investor is able to control the operating and financial policies of Gamma, but on one
occasion since 1 July 20X6 Gamma made a policy decision with which Alpha did not fully agree.
● Alpha has not entered into a contractual relationship with any other investor to exercise joint
control over the operating and financial policies of Gamma.
● All equity shares in Beta carry one vote at general meetings.
Your assistant has been reading the working papers for the consolidated financial statements of
Alpha for previous years. He has noticed that Beta has been consolidated as a subsidiary and
has expressed the view that this must be because Alpha owns more than 50% of its shares. He
has further stated that Gamma should be treated as an available-for-sale financial asset since
Alpha is unable to control its operating and financial policies.
Required
Prepare the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of
changes in equity of Alpha for the year ended 30 September 20X6. Notes to the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income are not required. Ignore deferred tax
