    Consolidated sales and cost goods sold would be:

    Revenue : $3,000,000

    Cost of Sales : $2,040,000

    Explanation:

    The Consolidation Process Includes 100% of Poseidon Co. and 100% of Saturn Co.

    However Revenues for Saturn is Overstated and Cost of Goods Sold of Poseidon Co. are overstated due to the intragroup sale and thus the sale should be eliminated.

    Journal to Eliminate Intragroup Sale

    Revenue : Saturn Co $300,000 (debit)

    Cost of Sales : Poseidon Co $300,000 (credit)

    Consolidated sales and cost goods sold would be:

    Revenue : $2,400,000+$900,000-$300,000 = $3,000,000

    Cost of Sales : $1,800,000+$540,000-$300,000 = $2,040,000
