For 2017 and then for 2018, calculate the equity income to be reported by Pond for external reporting purposes.?
Answer:-
For the year 2017:
pond co. paid 700000 for 40% share
net worth of Ramp is (2200000-700000-120000+300000) = 1680000
40% of $1680000 is $672000
Amount paid for Goodwill is $700000-672000 = $28000
total income of RAMP 200000
- inter sale (1000)
- excess amount charged on sale of 40% (28000)
Total net income 171000
equity income for Pond in 2017 is 171000*.4= $68400
in the year 2018
total loss (120000)
+ income on inter company sale now sold 1000
- profit on closing stock of inter sale (24000)
net loss for 2018 (143000)
equity income of 2018 for Pond is -143000*.4 = -57200 loss
