The following information pertains to Yankee during 2021: Net income $ 240,000 Dividends declared and paid $ 72,000 Market price of common stock on 12/31/2021 $ 29 /share What amount would Matsui report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Yankee

Answer 1

$1,329,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the amount that Matsui would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Yankee

First step is to find the Percentage of shares acquired

Percentage of shares acquired = 48,000 / 240,000 = 20%

Last step is to find the Balance sheet Amount to be reported

Using this formula

Investment = Cost + 20% of Net income - 20% of dividends declared

Let plug in the formula

Investment=$1,296,000 + (20% x $240,000) - (20% x $72,000 )

Investment=$1,296,000+$48,000-$14,400

Investment=$1,329,600

Therefore the amount that Matsui would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Yankee will be $1,329,600
