《高級會計學(第11版)》: To appropriately measure this noncontrolling interest allocation, the relationship between an intraentity transaction and the outside owners must be analyzed.If a transferis downstream (the parent sells inventory to the subsidiary), a logical view would seemto be that the unrealized gross profit is that of the parent company.The parent made theoriginal sale; therefore, the gross profit is included in its fmancial records.Because thesubsidiary's income is unaffected, little justification exists for adjusting the noncontrolling interest to reflect the deferral of the unrealized gross profit.Consequently, in theexample of Large and Small, if the transfers were downstream, the 30 percent noncontrolling interest would be $30,000 based on Small's reported income of $100,000. In contrast, if the subsidiary sells inventory to the parent (an upstream transfer), thesubsidiary's financial records would recognize the gross profit even though part of thisincome remains unrealized from a consolidation perspective.Because the outside ownerspossess their interest in the subsidiary, a reasonable conclusion would be that the noncontrolling interest measure is calculated on the income this company actually earned. In this textbook, the noncontrolling interest's share of consolidated net income iscomputed based on the reported income of the subsidiary after adjustment for any unrealized upstream gross profits.Returning to Large Company and Small Company, if the$40,000 unrealized gross profit results from an upstream sale from subsidiary to parent,only $60,000 of Small's $100,000 reported income actually has been earned by the end of the year.The allocation to the noncontrolling interest is, therefore, reported as $18,000,or 30 percent of this realized income figure. ……
