1. based on the information given above, what amount of cost of goods sold will be reported in the 2018 consolidated income statement?

$71,000

Explanation:

The cost of sales in the consolidated income statement of punch corporation shall be calculated in the following manner:

Inventory purchased form Judy by Punch                                       $75,000                    

*unrealized profit on inventory purchased from Judy                      ($4,000)

((75,000-50,000)*20%)*80%

Cost of goods sold to be reported                                                    $71,000

* Since the Punch Corporation has sold the 80% of the inventory purchased from the Judy to the outside customers while the 20% of the inventory purchased from the Judy is still with the Punch corporation, therefore the unrealized profit earned by the Judy on the sale made to Punch in respect of 20% inventory shall be deducted for group purposes because from group point of view both the Punch and Judy are same entities.
