As per equity method, at the time of purchase A account for $750k as investment in B. The investor company reports the revenue earned by the other company on its income statement, in an amount proportional to the percentage of its equity investment in the other company.
Profits from B in the books of A (second year)
80% of B's income ie., $200k | $160k |
Less: unrealised profit on inventory [(50k*25%)*20%*80%] | ($2k) |
Amortization of undervalued equip (10k/4) | ($2.5k |
A's share of profit | $155.5k |
Non controlling interest for B in the second year
At first we have to calculate the balance of investment of A, which is = $750k+$155.5k=$905.5k
This is 80% interest in B.
So minority interest of 20% is=($905.5k/80%)*20%=$226.375k
