 Answers

1.a [(20,000 × $17) – $14,000] – $315,000 = $11,000

690,000- (90,000 x 15/75 = 672,000

4-b.a $10,000 + $20,000 = $30,000

6. Solution:

Cost $500,000

Share of net income (.25 × $360,000) 90,000

Share of dividends (.25 × $160,000) (40,000)

Balance in investment account $550,000

7. b $18,000 – $15,000 – $30,000 = $27,000 loss.

8a.c $160,000 × 30% = $48,000.

8b.b $400,000 + $48,000 – ($100,000 × 30%) = $418,000.

9. b Discount amortization: $40,000 × 8/50 = $6,400

($1,960,000 + $6,400) ÷ 2 = $983,200; $988,000 – $983,200 = $4,800 gain.

10.a $0 (available-for-sale securities).
