On January 1, 2017, Stream Company acquired 27 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Q-Video, Inc., for $716,000. Q-Video manufactures specialty cables for computer monitors. On that date, Q-Video reported assets and liabilities with book values of $1.6 million and $800,000, respectively. A customer list compiled by Q-Video had an appraised value of $306,000, although it was not recorded on its books. The expected remaining life of the customer list was five years with a straight-line amortization deemed appropriate. Any remaining excess cost was not identifiable with any particular asset and thus was considered goodwill.

Q-Video generated net income of $304,000 in 2017 and a net loss of $112,000 in 2018. In each of these two years, Q-Video declared and paid a cash dividend of $18,000 to its stockholders.

During 2017, Q-Video sold inventory that had an original cost of $104,000 to Stream for $160,000. Of this balance, $80,000 was resold to outsiders during 2017, and the remainder was sold during 2018. In 2018, Q-Video sold inventory to Stream for $170,000. This inventory had cost only $136,000. Stream resold $100,000 of the inventory during 2018 and the rest during 2019.

For 2017 and then for 2018, compute the amount that Stream should report as income from its investment in Q-Video in its external financial statements under the equity method. (Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The following additional information is available:

  1. Only printing costs and sales commissions are variable; all other costs are fixed. The printing costs (which include materials, labor, and variable overhead) are traceable to the three product lines as shown in the income statement above. Sales commissions are 10% of sales.
  2. The same equipment is used to produce all three books, so the equipment depreciation expense has been allocated equally among the three product lines. An analysis of the company’s activities indicates that the equipment is used 30% of the time to produce cookbooks, 50% of the time to produce travel guides, and 20% of the time to produce handy spellers.
  3. The warehouse is used to store finished units of product, so the rental cost has been allocated to the product lines on the basis of sales dollars. The warehouse rental cost is $3 per square foot per year. The warehouse contains 48,000 square feet of space, of which 7,200 square feet is used by the cookbook line, 24,000 square feet by the travel guide line, and 16,800 square feet by the handy speller line.
  4. The general sales cost above includes the salary of the sales manager and other sales costs not traceable to any specific product line. This cost has been allocated to the product lines on the basis of sales dollars.
  5. The general administration cost and depreciation of office facilities both relate to administration of the company as a whole. These costs have been allocated equally to the three product lines.
  6. All other costs are traceable to the three product lines in the amounts shown on the income statement above.

The management of Diversified Products, Inc., is anxious to improve the publishing company’s 5% return on sales.

1. Prepare a new contribution format segmented income statement for the month. Adjust allocations of equipment depreciation and of warehouse rent as indicated by the additional information provided.
