Answer:
Suppose that in year 2021, Bloomfield had equal share of percentage of ownership in Clor as they had in previous year i.e 2020, it means that in 2021, the share of percentage that will be held by Bloomfield in Clor will be 26.59%
Explanation:
From the above, we will assume that Bloomfield stake in Clor using equity method and also investment in 2020 was $150,650 and $165,300 in 2021.
Inorder to calculate the percentage , we can make it Y hence we will add amount in 2020 with Y% of (Net income - Dividend declared) inorder to arrive at the total amount in 2021.
Solution.
$150,650 + Y% (75,600 - $20,500) = $165,300
$150,650 + $55,100Y = $165,300
$55,100Y = $165,300 - $150,650
$55,100Y = $14,650
Y% = $14,650/$55,100
Y% = 0.26588
Y = 0.26588 × 100
Y = 26.59
