Lesson 7 P2: Home Office/Branch/Agency - Notes

*Agency = maintains samples of inventory
                = any cash receipt/disbursement accounted for like Petty Cash Fund
                = does not maintain books

*Branch = have their own books
               = capital accounts in books is called "Home Office - Current"
               = Inventory includes Shipment from Home Office and Inventory from Outside Suppliers

*Home Office = accounts an "Investment in Branch" account using the equity method

*Investment in Branch = Home Office - Current

*Consolidation of Home Office and Branch Financial Statements:
    Remove "home office - branch" transactions.
     a. Cost of Shipment to Branch (like Cost of Sales to Branch)
     b. Billings of Shipment to Branch (like Sales to Branch)
           Billed Price = Cost of shipment to branch + Allowance for overvaluation of branch inventory
 
  *Allowance for overvaluation of branch inventory  (like Unrealized Gross Profit)
                  = mark-up of home office on inventory sent to branch.
                  = adjusted to match ending inventory of Shipments to branch/from home office
                      (adjustment is like the Realized Gross Profit)
