Answer 1

Answer:

Comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8 is $119,000

Explanation:

Stamp Corporation

Year             Net Income           Comprehensive Income          Dividends Paid 20X8             $ 25,000                       $ 30,000                            $ 5,000

20X9              $35,000                       $45,000                             $ 10,000

The amount of comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8 ;

Comprehensive income of Stamp Corporation = $30,000  

Less: Annual amortization of intangible assets acquired on acquisition (50000/8) = $6,250  

Comprehensive income of Stamp Corporation after adjustment = $23,750  

Income attributable to controlling interest = 80% × $23,750 = $19,000  

Net income of Package Company = $100,000  

Comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest = Income attributable to controlling interest + Net income of Package Company

= $19,000 + $100,000

= $119,000
