No adjustment is necessary

Explanation:

In group balance sheet consolidation, Portion of Unrealized Profit (PURP) adjustments are only necessary when the goods or part of the goods have not been sold on to third parties meaning that the profit on the goods have not been realized. Hence it is more like a movement of inventory within the group.

In the given scenario ''During 2018, Perez sold goods with a 40 percent gross profit to Senior, which sold all of these goods in 2018''

As long as the goods have all been sold out of the group, then the profit has been realized and there will be no need for PURP adjustment on consolidation
