Sales Consolidated $1,159,000

COGS consolidated $804,000

Explanation:

The company will need to remove their sales between affiliates, because the goal for the consolidate statment is to represent the group performance with external entities

Sales Top $1,010,000

-sales between afilliates - $310,000

90% Bottom $459,000

Sales Consolidated $1,159,000

COGS top $757,500

-COGS sales between afiliated - $232500 (cross multiply)

90% Bottom $279,000

COGS consolidated $804,000

cross multiply:

1,010,000 generates 757,500 of COGS

310,000 generates 310,000x757,500/1,010,000 = 232,500 COGS
