Answer : (A)
When computing consolidated income, the objective
is to restate the accounts as if the intercompany transactions
had not occurred.
As a result of the intercompany sales, sales
and cost of goods sold are overstated and an eliminating entry
is needed to reduce these accounts by the entire amount of
the intercompany sales. Therefore,
answer (a) is correct. Answer
(b) is incorrect because sales and cost of goods sold
need to be reduced by the entire amount of the intercompany
sales in order to arrive at their proper consolidated amounts.
Answer (c) is incorrect because net income is not affected
by the intercompany sale. Sales and cost of goods sold are
overstated by the same amount; thus, net income is correct
for consolidated purposes. Answer (d) is incorrect because an
adjustment is necessary.
