Question

Prescott Corp. owned 90% of Bell Inc., while Bell owned 10% of the outstanding common shares of Prescott. No goodwill or other allocations were recognized in connection with either of these acquisitions. Prescott reported operating income of $266,000 for 2013 whereas Bell earned $98,000 during the same period. No investment income was included within either of these income totals. On a consolidated income statement, what is the non-controlling interest in Bell's net income?

a. 9,800

b. 13,692

c. 10,836

d. 12,460

e. 11,214

Answer 1

The non-controlling interest in Bell's net income will be Bell’s Income multiplied by the Non-Controlling Interest share (10%)

The non-controlling interest in Bell's net income = 98,000 * 10%

                                                                                                = $9,800

Option $9,800 is the correct option
