g.

If Rakel reported net income of $56,000 for 20X8, what amount of income will be assigned to the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated income statement for 20X8?

Answer 1

Answer

a.

Amount Paid = $1,030,000 – 245,000

Amount Paid = $785,000

b.

Book value at January 1, 20X7 = Amount paid by Master – Gain on sale

= $785,000 - $49,000

Book value at January 1, 20X7 = $736,000

Accumulated Depreciation = Purchase price of Rakel – Book Value (Calculated above)

= $1,030,000 - $736,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $294,000

c.

It is mentioned that they are following Straight Line Basis Method and They purchased the building in 20X1 and sold in 20X7 that means they have used he Asset for 6 Years.

So Depreciation per year = Accumulated Depreciation / No. of Years passed

= $294,000 / 6 Years

Depreciation per year = $49,000

d.

Residual value = Purchase Price – Depreciation for 20 Years

= $1,030,000 – ($49,000 per year * 20 Years)

Residual value = $50,000

e.

Depreciation Expense of Master = (Purchase Price – Residual Value) / Remaining Life of Asset

= ($785,000 – 50,000) / (20 – 6 Years)

Depreciation Expense of Master = $52,500 Per year

f.

Gain on Sale of Building = $49,000 – 3,500

= $45,500

Non-Controlling Interest Income =( Income – Gain on Sale of Building) * Non-Controlling Interest

= ($75,000 - $45,500) * (100 – 60%)

Non-Controlling Interest Income = $11,800

g.

In 20X8 we will recognize the remaining Gain of $3,500 on Sale of Building

Non-Controlling Interest Income = (Income + gain released) * Non-Controlling Interest

= ($56,000 + 3,500) * 40%

Non-Controlling Interest Income = $23,800
