Hello, our parent and subsidiary have a cost plus relationship. For example, the subsidiary's cost is $10,000 and the cost plus arrange was cost+10%, so the parent will transfer $11,000 to the subsidiary. What would be the appropriate way to account for the entry at the parent and sub? Here's what I think, is it correct? Thanks.

Sub should credit a revenue account called Intercompany revenue for 11,000.
Then just eliminate the intercompany accounts in consolidation. I suggest you show the entries in a new post to make sure you get this.

Thanks Kirby.
Was this what you were referring?

So when consolidated, I would end up with cash used to pay for the expenses at the sub and recognized expenses.

Consolidation Entry is:

DR Inter-Company Revenue 11,000
CR Inter-Company Expense <11,000>
