Dubro's stock outstanding at December 31, Year 1, is as follows:10% cumulative preferred stock $100,000Common stock 700,000Dubro reported net income of $60,000 and paid dividends of $10,000 to its preferred shareholders for the year ended December 31, Year 1. How much total revenue should Moss record due to its investment in Dubro?

Answer 1

Answer:

Revenue due to investment in Dubro = $22,000

Explanation:

In the given case, revenue to be recorded will be based on calculation as follows:

Since investment in equity is 40% of total share, equity method will be used.

In such method all income share in equity and preference dividend will form part of income for the current year.

Dividend = $10,000 $\times$ 20% as invested in preference capital.

= $2,000

Share in income = $50,000 $\times$ 40% as invested in equity = $20,000

Note: Dividend will be deducted from net income as net income for equity

Net income - Dividend = $60,000 - $10,000 = $50,000

Thus, net share of income = $2,000 + $20,000 = $22,000
