of goodwill should be attributed to the non-controlling interest at the date of acquisition
Solution:
A non-controlling interest (NCI) is a role in which a owner holds less than 50% of remaining and has little control over decisions. A minority ownership is often known as the minority interest. Non-controlling interests are calculated by their net worth and are not eligible for future right to vote.
Now , Calculate the amount
Cost(PP) - 1,600/0.8 = 2,000
FV - 1,850
GW = 1,850 - 2,000
= 150,000

Debit : Dividend $40,000
Credit : Shareholders for dividends $40,000
Explanation:
When dividends are declared, we Debit an Equity Element - Dividend and Credit the Liability - Shareholders for dividends.
Calculation of this dividend is made on the stockholders in existence at the on a stated date (January 15 in this case) and at par value ($2) as follows :
Dividend = 100,000 x $2.00 x $0.20 = $40,000
Answer:
9.90%
Explanation:
The appropriate approach is to include the amount expected to kept in non-interest bearing account as part of the loan
total loan=$400,000/0.95= 421,052.63
Interest charge = 421,052.63*9%*6/12=$18,947.37
interest rate percentage=$18,947.37/$400,000=4.74%
Effective annual rate=(1+4.74%
/6)^12-1 =9.90%
By dividing by 6, the interest is expressed in monthly terms
By raising to the power of 12 , it is expressed in yearly terms
