On January 1, 2020, Fisher Corporation purchased 40 percent (80,000 shares) of the common stock of Bowden, Inc., for $978,000 in cash and began to use the equity method for the investment. The price paid represented a $66,000 payment in excess of the book value of Fisher's share of Bowden's underlying net assets. Fisher was willing to make this extra payment because of a recently developed patent held by Bowden with a 15-year remaining life. All other assets were considered appropriately valued on Bowden's books.

Bowden declares and pays a $102,000 cash dividend to its stockholders each year on September 15. Bowden reported net income of $396,000 in 2020 and $360,000 in 2021. Each income figure was earned evenly throughout its respective years.

On July 1, 2021, Fisher sold 10 percent (20,000 shares) of Bowden's outstanding shares for $334,000 in cash. Although it sold this interest, Fisher maintained the ability to significantly influence Bowden's decision-making process.

Required

2.     What is the purpose of the pre-acquisition entries in the preparation of consolidated financial statements? Explain.

Silly Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2020 of $802,600. Additional transactions occurring in 2020 but not considered in the $802,600 are as follows.

1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of $92,900 during the year.
2. At the beginning of 2018, the corporation purchased a machine for $72,000 (salvage value of $12,000) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation for 2018, 2019, and 2020, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base.
3. Sale of securities held as a part of its portfolio resulted in a loss of $64,900 (pretax).

The tax rate on these items is 30%.


Prepare an income statement for the year 2020 starting with income from continuing operations before taxes. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement.

(Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.48 and all other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
