2. Son’s 2016 net income and dividends were $280,000 and $240,000, respectively.
3. Son’s inventory, which was sold in 2016, was undervalued by $50,000 at January 2, 2016
REQUIRED
1. What is Pop’s income from Son for 2016?
2. What is the noncontrolling interest share for 2016

But an error of understatement revalues the Assets at $1,200,000 + $50,000 = $1,250,000. This would have equally raised the Net income by $50,000 and increased Total Equity to $1,250,000.

Pops stake in the Business is therefor $960,000 divided $1,250,000 = 76.8%

Using the Equity Method, Pop's income is:

We are not told if Pop paid additional cash to make up the undervalued stock, thus we will assume his adjusted stake in the business is 76.8%

Net income = 76.8% x $280,000 = $215,040

Less Dividend = 76.8% x $240,000 = $184,320

Total Pops income from Son = $30,720

The non-controlling interest shares will be:

Capital stock = 23.2% x $600,000 = $139,200

Retained Earnings = 23.2% x $440,000 = $102,080

Total non-controlling interest shares for 2016 = $241,280
