Assume that Icecap sold inventory to Polar at a markup equal to 25% of cost. Intra-entity transfers were $70,000 in 2020 and $112,000 in 2021. Of this inventory, $29,000 of the 2020 transfers were retained and then sold by Polar in 2021, whereas $49,000 of the 2021 transfers were held until 2022.Required:For the consolidated financial statements for 2021, determine the balances that would appear for the following accounts: (i) Cost of Goods Sold; (ii) Inventory; and (iii) Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
