Intercompany Profits on
Nondepreciable Plant Assets
A transfer at a price other than book
value gives rise to unrealized profit
or loss to the consolidated entity.
Any gain or loss on sales downstream
from parent to subsidiary is initially
included in parent company income
and must be eliminated.

Intercompany Profits on
Nondepreciable Plant Assets
The amount of elimination is 100%,
regardless of the minority
interest percentage.

profit or loss from upstream sales.
The parent company recognizes only
its share of the subsidiary’s income.
