An investor company owns 30% of the common stock of an investee company. The investor has significant influence over the investee, and acquired its equity interest in the investee on January 1, 2018 for $525,000. On the date of acquisition, the investee’s stockholders equity was $1,500,000, and the fair values of the investee’s individual net assets were equal to their reported book values. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the investee reported net income of $50,000 and dividends of $10,000. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the investee reported net income of $60,000 and dividends of $15,000. The investor routinely sells inventory to the investee at a 25% profit margin. At December 31, 2018 and 2019, the investee held inventories purchased from the investor for $30,000 and $40,000, respectively. (At the end of each period, all of these inventories are sold by the investee to unaffiliated companies in the next period.)
