How much total revenue should Moss record due to its investment in Dubro?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Revenue due to investment in Dubro = $22,000

Explanation:

In the given case, revenue to be recorded will be based on calculation as follows:

Since investment in equity is 40% of total share, equity method will be used.

In such method all income share in equity and preference dividend will form part of income for the current year.

Dividend = $10,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 20% as invested in preference capital.

= $2,000

Share in income = $50,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 40% as invested in equity = $20,000

Note: Dividend will be deducted from net income as net income for equity

Net income - Dividend = $60,000 - $10,000 = $50,000

Thus, net share of income = $2,000 + $20,000 = $22,000
