Explanation:

Equity method in accounting is the process by which profits and losses of a company are allocated on the basis of investments made in it. Take for example a parent company has a 40% stake in a subsidiary. When the subsidiary makes profit or loss the parent company recieves a share.

The investor is usually referred to as an associate or affiliate and usually own 20-50% of voting shares in the company. Therefore the equity method is used and not the cost method.

To account for unrecognised intra-entity profit a credit will be passed to cost of goods sold.
