Answer:
$40,800
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:-
With regard to non-controlling interest, Lowell Corp. and the non-controlling interest divided Boston net profits proportionately to their ownership interests.
Non controlling interest share of consolidated net income = Boston net income × Remaining percentage
= $204,000 × (100% - 80%)
= $204,000 × 20%
= $40,800
Therefore for computing the Non controlling interest share of consolidated net income we simply multiply the Boston net income with remaining percentage.
