2. Cash account Dr. $8,000

To investment in Carolina company. $8,000

3. Investment in Carolina company Dr. $13,920

To Revenue account. ( Refer WN 1). $13,920

4. Revenue account Dr. $1,200

To inventories account. (refer WN 2). $1,200

Working note 1:- Profits of Carolina company for the year 2016 are $50,000. But this includes the profit made on sale of goods to Georgia company, which is a national profit. Hence we eliminate this profit ($15,600 - $12,000 = $3,600) from the profit of Carolina. So divisible profit = $50,000 - $3600 = $46,400. Now Georgia holds 30% shares of Carolina, hence Georgia's share in profits = 46,400*30% = $13,920

Working note 2:- At the end of 2016 Georgia has in it's closing inventory 1/3rd of the stock it purchased from Carolina. It contains notional profit made by Carolina amounting to $3,600. Hence we have eliminate 1/3rd of $3,600 ,I.e., $1,200 from the inventory.

But during the year Georgia has sold goods to Carolina at a gross profit of $18,000. 1/4th of such goods are appearing in the Closing inventory of Carolina. Hence the profits made by Georgia on this closing inventory has to be eliminated before adding Georgia's share in the profits of Carolina. Hence the divisible profit of Carolina = $62,000 - 18000/4 = $57500. Georgia's share is 30% in this profit which is = 57500*30% = $17,250.
