Determination of gain on sale of investment in Ayayai Corporation:

The correct option is A. $137,175

Computations:

Investment in Ayayai (30%) $990,000

Add: 30% of net income in 2021 $109,200

Less: dividends 30% x232,000 ($69,600)

Add: Half of net income in 2022 $71,850

Less: dividends on April 1, 2022 ($49,800)

Investment in Ayayai on July 1, 2022 $1,051,650

Value of 50% investment in Ayayai on July 1 $525,825

Gain on sale = 663,000 – 525,825 = $137,175

Notes:

2. 30% of dividends paid 2021 = 232,000 x 0.3 = 69,600

Dividends are return on investment, hence deducted from cost price.

3. Since, sale of 50% of investment effected on July1, 2022, the share in net income on that date is added to the investment in Ayayai.

50% x 479,000 x 30% = 71,850

4. 30% of Dividends paid on April 1, 2022 = 30% x 166,000 = 49,800

5. Dividends paid on Oct 1 are considered for determination of gain or loss on sale of 50% investment as the dividends are paid after the date of sale, July 1, 2022.
