Answer 1

Answer: $597,700

Explanation:

To find the Consolidated Net Income, one must sum up all the Separate Operating Incomes and then account for Amortization expense by deducting it.

In this scenario it will look like this,

= Operating Income of Boulder Inc + Operating Income of Rock Corporation + Operating Income of Stone Company - Amortization expense (Boulder's investment in Rock Corporation) - Amortization Expense (Rock's investment in Stone Company)

= 336,500 + 116,500 + 180,000 - 24,300 - 11,000

= $597,700

The Consolidated Net Income for the year 2018 was $597,700.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Consolidated net income $597,700

B.Noncontrolling interest in Stone's income $42,250
