Answer:
The amount of consolidated net income that will be assigned to the controlling interest for 2018 is $ 48,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate consolidated net income profit and loss on intra group transactions are eliminated or not taken into account. So in order to calculate profit cost incurred by group is taken as cost of good sold and sales that is made to third party will be taken as revenue. Detail calculations are given below.
Revenue $ 100,000
COGS ($ 40,000) (50,000 *80%)
Profit $ 60,000-A
Consolidated net income controlling interest = A * 80% = $ 48,000
