    c. $500,000

    Explanation:

    Given that:

    Parker Corp. owns 80% of Smith Inc.'s common stock

    During Year 1, Parker sold Smith $250,000 of inventory

    Therefore; adjusted for inter Corp. sales = $250,000

    The following information pertains to Smith and Parker's sales for Year 1:

    Parker Smith

    Sales $ 1,000,000 $ 700,000

    Cost of Sales $400,000 $ 350,000

    Total $ 600,000 $ 350,000

    For the Unadjusted Cost of Sales of Parker and Smith = $400,000+$ 350,000

    = $750,000

    The amount that Parker should report as cost of sales in its Year 1 consolidated income statement = Unadjusted Cost of Sales - adjusted for inter Corp. sales

    = $750,000 - $250,000

    = $500,000
