Question

93) Jack Corporation purchased a 20% interest in Jill Corporation for $1,500,000 on January 1, 2021. Jack can significantly influence Jill. On December 10, 2021, Jill declared and paid $1 million in dividends. Jill reported a net loss of $6 million for the year. What amount of loss should Jack report in its income statement for 2021 relative to its investment in Jill?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,200,000

Explanation:

Jack Corporation

Carrying value before net loss:

($1,500,000 - (20% x $1,000,000))

=$1,500,000-$200,000

= $1,300,000

Jack's share of net loss recognized in full:

20% x $6,000,000

= $1,200,000

Therefore the amount of loss should Jack report in its income statement for 2021 relative to its investment in Jill will be $1,200,000
