Question

Chase Company owns 80% of Lawrence Company and 40% of Ross Company. Lawrence Company also owns 30% of Ross Company. Separate operating incomes for 2011 of Chase, Lawrence, and Ross are $450,000, $300,000, and $250,000, respectively. Each company also retains a $20,000 unrealized gain in their current income figures. Annual amortization expense of $15,000 is assigned to Chase's investment in Lawrence and another $15,000 is assigned to Lawrence's investment in Ross. Compute the noncontrolling interest in Ross' net income for 2011. $92,000. $77,400. $75,000. $64,500. $69,000.

Answer 1

The non-controlling interest in Ross Company's 2011 net income is A. $92,000.

Data and Calculations:

Chase Company's shareholding in Lawrence Company = 80%

Chase Company's shareholding in Ross Company = 40%

Lawrence Company's shareholding in Ross Company = 30%

                                                    Chase       Lawrence      Rose

Operating incomes for 2011   $450,000    $300,000  $250,000

Unrealized gain                           20,000        20,000       20,000

Annual amortization expense                          15,000       (15,000)

Therefore, Chase Company's shareholding in Ross Company = 64% (40% + 80% x 30%).

And Ross' non-controlling interest = 36% (100% - 64%)

= $92,000 ($250,000 + $20,000 - $15,000) x 36%

Thus, the non-controlling interest in Ross Company's 2011 net income is A. $92,000.
