Find the NCI balance on consolidated balance sheet ended 12/31/20.

Answer 1

There are many approcahes to claculate the NCI
a) By preparing the consolidated Balance sheet
b) By utilising the NCI formula
Which is nothing but
NCI = Beginning NCI equity Fair Value + NCI’s interest in income – NCI’s share of dividends
Opening NCI Equity fair value = 45% of the opening book value
=> $ 16,970,000 x 45%
=>	$      7,636,500
NCI’s interest in income
=> 45% of current year income
=> $ 79,50,000 x 45%		=>	$      3,577,500
NCI share of dividends
=> 45% of the dividends payout
=> 45% of $30,00,000		=>	$      1,350,000
NCI as at 31st December 2020			= $7,636,500 + $3,577,500 - $1,350,000
		=>	$      9,864,000
