In: Accounting
Akron, Inc. owns 80% of the capital stock of Benson Company and 60% of the capital stock of Cashin, Inc. Benson Company owns 35% of the capital stock of Cashin, Inc. Cashin, Inc., in turn, owns 25% of the capital stock of Akron, Inc.
Net income before adjusting for interests in intercompany net income for each corporation follows:
Akron, Inc. |
A(0) = 180,000 |
Benson Co. |
B(0) = 130,000 |
Cashin, Inc. |
C(0) = 320,000 |
Ignore all income tax considerations.
A(e) = Akron's consolidated net income; that is, its net income plus its share of the consolidated net income of Benson and Cashin
B(e) = Benson's consolidated net income; that is, its net income plus its share of the consolidated net income of Cashin
C(e) = Cashin's consolidated net income; that is, its net income plus its share of the consolidated net income of Akron
Suppose a parent company (or parent companies) owns less than 100% but more than 50% of a subsidiary company. Then, the part of the consolidated net income that doesn't belong to the parent companies is called the subsidiary's company minority interest.
Benson's minority interest in consolidated net income is:
A) 61,090
B) 45,500
C) 109,907
D) 26,000
Minority Interest Calculation of Benson Company :- | ||||
Solution :- | ||||
Name of the Company | % Share | Subsidary Company | ||
Akron Inc | 80% | Benson Company | ||
Akron Inc | 60% | Cashin Inc | ||
Benson Company | 35% | Cashin Inc | ||
Cashin Inc | 25% | Asron Inc | ||
Minority Interest Defination :- | ||||
Minority Interest is the Ownership of the Subsidary Companies | ||||
Not by the Holding Company (i.e., Lessthan 50% of Shares) | ||||
Hence, in the above table Minorirty Interest will be calculated | ||||
for the Benson Company & Cashin Inc only, because of lessthan | ||||
50% of shares | ||||
Benson Company Net Income is Rs.1,30,000/- | ||||
Akron Inc having 80 % of Share of Benson Company, it means | ||||
Rs.1,30,000/- @ 80 % = Rs.1,04,000/- | ||||
Hence Rs.1,30,000/- Less Rs.1,04,000/- = Rs.26,000/- | ||||
Benson Company Minority Interest in the consolidate income | ||||
is Rs.26,000/- | ||||
Answer (D) | ||||
