The cost and selling price of the goods were $140,000 and $200,000, respectively. Stendall still owned one-fourth of the goods at the end of 2013. Consolidated cost of goods sold for 2013 was $2,140,000 because of a consolidating adjustment for intra-entity sales less the entire profit remaining in Stendall's ending inventory.

$200,000 Revenue - $140,000 COGS = $60,000 Profit on Intra-Entity Sales × 25% still in Ending Inventory = $15,000 Adjustment to Net Income × 40% for Non-controlling Interest = $6,000 reduction in Net Income for the Non-Controlling Interest.
