Answer:
$11,200
Explanation:
As not mentioned in the account. It is Assumed that the Larry and Bird are related parties and Bird made a sale at a transfer price of $40,000 with $24,000 cost of inventory.
Bird can only recognize the equity up to the ratio of inventory used or sold by the related party.
As 30% was not consumed then consumption will be 70%, so 70% of the income is realized and it will be recorded.
Equity Income = $40,000 - $24,000 = $16,000
Realized Equity income = $16,000 x 70% = $11,200
