Question

On January 1, 2018, Race Corp. acquired 80% of the voting common stock of Gallow Inc. During the year, Race sold to Gallow for $450,000 goods that cost $330,000. At year-end, Gallow owned 15% of the goods transferred. Gallow reported a net income of $204,000, and Race's net income was $806,000. Race decided to use the equity method to account for this investment.
Assuming there are no excess amortizations associated with the consolidation and no other intra-entity asset transfers, what was the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest?

Answer 1

Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is $40800
