3. d. $39,000

Explanation:

In preparing a consolidated income statement, Blue Company with controlling interest of 60% will eliminate intercompany transactions, sales, purchases, inventory, and profits.  This is because such transactions are assumed to be within the same consolidated entity.

Only such transactions involving outsiders are taken into consideration for the purpose of determining profits and arriving at the financial position of the consolidated group.
