Question

Maple Corporation and its subsidiary reported consolidated net income of $380,000 for the year ended December 31, 20X5. Maple owns 75% of the common shares of its subsidiary, acquired at book value. Noncontrolling interest was assigned income of $25,000 in the consolidated income statement for 20X5. What is the amount of separate operating income reported by Maple for the year

Answer 1

Answer: $280,000

Explanation:

Maple owns 75% of the subsidiary and the Non controlling interest which owns 25% in the subsidiary was assigned an income of $25,000 from the subsidiary.

The income of the subsidiary is;

0.25x = 25,000

x = 25,000/0.25

x= $100,000

If both Maple and the subsidiary reported $380,000, Maple's separate income is;

= 380,000 - 100,000

= $280,000
