MicroMem is a fast-growing manufacturer of computer chips. Direct materials are added at the start of the production process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Some units of this product are spoiled as a result of defects not detectable before inspection of finished goods. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. MicroMem uses the weighted-average method of process costing. Summary data for September 2017 are as follows:
Physical Units (Computer Chips) | Direct Materials | Conversion Costs | |
Work in process, beginning inventory (September 1) | 1,400 | $ 117,532 | $ 17,087 |

On July 1, 2016, Killearn Company acquired 142,000 of the outstanding shares of Shaun Company for $15 per share. This acquisition gave Killearn a 40 percent ownership of Shaun and allowed Killearn to significantly influence the investee's decisions.
As of July 1, 2016, the investee had assets with a book value of $5 million and liabilities of $890,000. At the time, Shaun held equipment appraised at $245,000 above book value; it was considered to have a seven-year remaining life with no salvage value. Shaun also held a copyright with a five-year remaining life on its books that was undervalued by $800,000. Any remaining excess cost was attributable to goodwill. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method. Killearn applies the equity method for its investment in Shaun.
Shaun's policy is to declare and pay a $1 per share cash dividend every April 1 and October 1. Shaun's income, earned evenly throughout each year, was $614,000 in 2016, $654,600 in 2017, and $704,200 in 2018.
In addition, Killearn sold inventory costing $145,800 to Shaun for $243,000 during 2017. Shaun resold $102,000 of this inventory during 2017 and the remaining $141,000 during 2018.
Determine the equity income to be recognized by Killearn during each of these years.
Compute Killearn's investment in Shaun Company's balance as of December 31, 2018.
