I’m confused about B and D; I thought we would debit inventory but not credit it since the goods aren't physically there yet.

I feel like we had a similar question in practice about intercompany transactions, and I think E makes sense because the parent needs to reflect the payable.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think C could be wrong since the goods should still be recognized in the current year, right?

I remember we discussed how inventory should be recognized even if it hasn't arrived yet, so I think A might be correct.

The key here is that the goods haven't arrived at the subsidiary yet, so they shouldn't be included in the subsidiary's inventory. I believe the correct approach is to debit the payables account of the parent company and credit the receivables account of the subsidiary.

Based on the information provided, I think the 150,000 should be credited to the subsidiary's payables account and debited to the parent company's receivables account. But I'm not 100% sure.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The subsidiary purchased 150,000 worth of goods from the parent company, but the goods haven't arrived yet. So we need to figure out how to account for this in the CSOFP.

I'm feeling pretty good about this one. The correct answers are B, C, and F. The subsidiary should debit the inventory account, the goods will be included in the next year's CSOFP, and the payables account of the subsidiary should be credited. Easy peasy, right? Now, where's the snack bar?

Wow, this is a complex question. I'm not sure about the right answer, but I think it has something to do with the timing of the transaction and how it affects the accounts. Maybe I should re-read the question a few times to make sure I understand it.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the correct answers are B, C, and F. The subsidiary should debit the inventory account, and since the goods haven't arrived, they'll be included in the next year's CSOFP. And the payables account of the subsidiary should be credited.
