Net income $290,000
Dividends declared and paid $87,000

Required:
What amount would Matsui report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Yankee?

Sagot :

Parrain

Answer: $3,018,900

Explanation:

Amount to report is:

= Cost of investment + Share of Net income - Share of dividends

Share of Net income

= Percentage ownership * Net income

= 87,000 shares / 290,000 * 290,000

= $87,000

Share of Dividends

= 87,000 / 290,000 * 87,000

= $26,100

Amount to report:

= 2,958,000 + 87,000 - 26,100

= $3,018,900
