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.

2. TurboCard credit card company offers a loyalty program to its credit card users whereby the credit card company gives the credit card user points for amounts purchased from merchants when using the credit card. These points may be accumulated and redeemed for a number of different goods or services, including cash-back. TurboCard separately enters into arrangements with merchants under which the credit card company provides the financing for the transaction between the merchant and the credit card user, in return for which the credit card company receives a stated fee from the merchant. When the credit card user uses the credit card to make a purchase from a merchant, TurboCard honors its agreement with the merchant and advances the merchant the funding for the amount of the transaction after deducting the fee to which the credit card company is entitled. However, as a result of that transaction, TurboCard now also has an obligation to the credit card user to provide the specified number of points in the loyalty program.
