Step-by-step explanation:

a. Calculation for what net income would Ravine Corporation have reported for each of the years

Ravine Corporation net income using the cost method

20X6 Net income= $140,000 + 0.30($20,000)

20X6 Net income=$146,000

20X7 Net income= $80,000 + 0.30($40,000)

20X7 Net income=$92,000

20X8 Net income= $220,000 + 0.30($30,000)

20X8 Net income =$229,000

20X9 Net income= $160,000 + 0.30($20,000)

20X9 Net income=$166,000

Calculation 20X8 Dividend declared

Dividend declared=($30,000 + $50,000 – $20,000 – $40,000 )+ $10,000

Dividend declared=$20,000+$10,000

Dividend declared=$30,000

Ravine Corporation net income using the equity method

20X6 Net income= $140,000 + 0.30($30,000)

20X6 Net income=$149,000

20X7 Net income= $ 80,000 + 0.30($50,000)

20X7 Net income=$95,000

20X8 Net income=$223,000
