How is the noncontrolling interest in net income affected in the year the parent sells the land? A. No effect B. Increase of $20,000 C. Decrease of $2,000 D. Decrease of $22,000

Answer 1

The answer is ""D

Decrease of $22,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Parents and subsidiary may sell non-current asset s to each other, resulting i n a profit being recorded in the selling ent ity's financial statements.

If these non- current assets are still held by the purchasing entity at the y ear-end, the profit is unrealised from the gr oup’s perspective and should be removed.

The NCI calculation would include an adjustment to reduce the subsidiary's profit by $100,000 to eliminate the profit on disposal of the intra-group transfer.

The NCI would be decreased by $100,000*20% = $20,000 and the gain on disposal $10,000*20% = $2,000

The NCI would be decreased by = $20,000 + $2,000 = $22,000
