Answer #1

a) Calculating amount of equity method income would Matthew recognize in 2018 from its ownership interest in Lindman

In 2018 Income = $132,000
Dividend =  $33,000

Unrealised profit

= $44,800 - 80,000

= 35,200*40%

Unrealised profit = $12,800

Profit = $33,000- 12,800

= $20200


Share in profits $20200*30% = $6060

Share of dividend $33,000*30%= $9,900

b) Calculating equity method balance in the Investment in Lindman account at the end of 2018

1 jan 2018 investment = $365,000

Amortisation per year = $ 12,600

Investment value 2018 end = $352,400
