On 1/1/19, Investor purchased 3,000,000 of the outstanding 10,000,000 shares of Investee for $2,000,000. For 2019, Investee declared total dividends to all shareholders of $275,000 and reported Net Income of $1,250,000. What is the balance in the Equity Method Investment on Investor’s 2019 Bal. Sheet
Number of shares purchased = 3,000,000
Number of outstanding shares of investee = 10,000,000
Percentage of shares purchased = Number of shares purchased/Number of outstanding shares of investee
= 30%
Cost of investment = $2,000,000
Total dividend declared by investee = $275,000
Net income of investee = $1,250,000
Share of dividend from investee = Total dividend declared by investee x Percentage of shares purchased
= 275,000 x 30%
= $82,500
Share of net income of investee = Net income of investee x Percentage of shares purchased
= 1,250,000 x 30%
= $375,000
Balance in the Equity Method Investment on Investor’s 2019 Bal. Sheet = Cost of investment + Share of net income of investee - Share of dividend from investee
= 2,000,000 + 375,000 - 82,500
= $2,292,500
