Answer 1

Answer:

correct option is b. $22,000

Explanation:

given data

reported revenues = $810,000

expenses = $630,000

annual amount of amortization  = $15,000

solution

we get here net income 2019 is

net income 2019 = revenue - expenses - amortization  ........1

put here value

net income 2019 = $810,000 - $630,000 - $15,000  

net income 2019 = $165,000

and

as here acquired stock on September

so we get here income for September to December that is

net income = $165,000 × $\frac{4}{12}$    

net income = $55000

and

non controlling interest is

non controlling interest = 40% of $55000

non controlling interest = $22,000

so correct option is b. $22,000
