How should Posada report the 2018 income that accrued to the 1,000 shares prior to their sale? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
What is the effect on Posada’s financial statements from this sale of 1,000 shares? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
1. Amortization for the patents = $70000/5 = $14,000
Net income after amortization = $120000 - 14000 = $106,000
Posada increase to equity on October 1st, 2018 as the amount earned at that time multiple by the percent owned = ($106000 / 12) x 9 x 0.70 = $55,650
Percentage of share sold = 1000/7000 = 0.1429
The increase to equity of shares sold is = $55650 x 0.1429 = $7,950. Company P will record the accrual as equity income in shares sold.
2. Decrease from dividend = ($40000 / 12) x 9 x 0.70 = $21,000
Book value of investment = $1085000+56650-21000 = $1,119,650
Book value of shares = $1,119,650 x 0.1429 = $159,950
Company P will record the sale of the shares as a ($191000 - $159950) = $31,050 increase to additional paid in capital.
