Answer:

the amount of equity method is $16,560

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of equity method income recognized in the year 2021 is shown below:

= Accrual equity income - amortization + intra entity profit recognized - intra entity profit deferred

= ($90,000 × 30%) - $9,000 + ($40,000 × 0.25 × 0.3 × 0.4) - ($50,000 × 0.4 × 0.44 × 0.3)

= 27,000 - $9,000 + $1,200 - $2,640

= $16,560

The 0.4 comes from

= $16,000 ÷ $40,000

= 0.4

And, 0.44 comes from

= $22,000 ÷ $50,000

= 0.44

hence, the amount of equity method is $16,560

Questions: a. What amount of equity method income would Matthew recognize in 2021 from its ownership interest in Lindman? 16,560

b. What is the equity method balance in the Investment in Lindman account at the end of 2021? 342,560

A) 30%*90,000=27,000

Less: annual amortization (given) -9,000

Add: Gross Profit from previous yrs

40,000*((40,000-24,000)/40,000)*25%*30%=1,200

Less: unrecognized Gross Profit for current yr. -50,000*((50,000-28,000)/50,000)*30%*40%= -2640

27,000-9,000+1,200-2,640= 16,560

-----------------------=========---------------------

B) 90,000*30%=27,000

40,000-24,000=16,000*30%=4,800*30%=1,440

50,000-28,000=22,000*40%=8,800*30%=2,640

27,000+1,440-9,000-2,640=16,800

335,000+16,560-(30,000*30%)=342,560
