Answer and explanation:
Labor is one of the main factors that can drive a company to success or failure. When deciding where to locate production the labor-related factors to take into account are labor skills (<em>employees' knowledge</em>), labor costs and productivity (<em>wages and how their levels can affect employees' performance</em>), and labor laws (<em>employees' benefits according to where they work</em>).
Answer:
a. $51,840
b. $15,440
Explanation;
a. First find the excess fair-value allocation;
= Fair value of Nephew - Book Value
Fair Value = Uncle ownership + Non-controlling interest
= 672,000 + 168,000
= $840,000
Excess fair value = 840,000 - 806,000
= $34,000
Any excess fair-value allocations are amortized over a 10-year period;
= 34,000/10
= $3,400
The Income to be recognized will be reduced by this yearly amotization so the 2014 income recognized by Uncle would be;
= (Nephew income - Amortization) * Uncle ownership stake
= ( 68,200 - 3,400) * 0.8
= $51,840
b. Nephew Company also owns 30% of Uncle which means that they will receive 30% of Uncle dividends.
= 0.3 * 30,000
= $9,000
Added to their own income;
= 9,000 + 68,200
= $77,200
The Non-controlling interest owns 20% so the income they will recognise is;
= 0.2 * 132,100
= $15,440
