My doubt is whole unrealised profit(50+60) is to be adjusted to consolidated p&l or cost of investment??

Hi, I searched all of the resources that I have and finally understood by basic principles that cost of investment does not include unrealised profit because, assets, expenses, liabilities are not consolidated in parent books. Just group share of associate profits in P&L and Investment in associate in Balance sheet are recorded. So unrealised profits are treated like below. It does look like a ‘Holy cow’ to me because Indas 28 did not prescribe any treatment for intra groups sales and unrealised profits.

But I’m sure, that an associate has to treat gain from revaluations, inventory and non current assets as unrealised profits treatment as per separate financial statements and just carry the profit and cost of investment to consolidated statements. Cost of investment does not consider unrealised profits.
