Good day dear members,
Q as follows
D LTD controls C LTD, owing 60% of its ordinary share capital.At groups year end, 31 December 2008, C included 6000 in its receivable i.r.o goods supplied to D.However, the payables of D included only 4000 i.r.o amounts due to C.The difference arose because , on 31 December 2008, D sent a cheque for 2000, which was not received by C until 3 January 2009.

Now on consolidation
Consolidated receivable will decrease by 6000
Consolidated payables will decrease by 4000
And my inventory in-transit will include 2000

Please comment on the above.
Many thanks
Flora
According to me

Not inventory

it will be treated as cash in transit and the same will be debited at the time of consolidation
It is cash in transit
Dr Cash 2000
Dr Payables 4000
Cr Recievables 6000
I agree with you on that
Many Thanks
