Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Y's adjusted net income is $19,760. This is calculated by taking Y's reported after-tax net income of $20,000 and subtracting the amount of intercompany profit that was eliminated in consolidation, which is $240. The intercompany profit is calculated as follows:Sales from X to Y: $10,000Cost of goods sold (50% of $10,000): $5,000Gross profit: $5,000Intercompany profit: $5,000 x 20% = $1,000Sales from Y to X: $5,000Cost of goods sold (40% of $5,000): $2,000Gross profit: $3,000Intercompany profit: $3,000 x 20% = $600Total intercompany profit: $1,000 + $600 = $1,600Intercompany profit eliminated in consolidation: $1,600 x 80% = $1,280Tax on intercompany profit eliminated in consolidation: $1,280 x 40% = $512Intercompany profit eliminated in consolidation, net of tax: $1,280 - $512 = $768Y's adjusted net income: $20,000 - $768 = $19,232
