On pines financial statements for the year ended december


Problem

Pine Company owns 40 percent (64,000 shares) of Seacrest, Inc., which it purchased several years ago for $344,000. Since the date of acquisition, the equity method has been properly applied, and the carrying amount of the investment account as of January 1, 2015, is $449,600. Excess patent cost amortization of $19,200 is still being recognized each year. During 2015, Seacrest reports net income of $486,000 and a $192,000 other comprehensive loss, both incurred uniformly throughout the year. No dividends were paid during the year. Pine sold 12,800 shares of Seacrest on August 1, 2015, for $138,048 in cash. However, Pine retains the ability to significantly influence the investee.

During the last quarter of 2014, Pine sold $56,000 in inventory (which it had originally purchased for only $33,600) to Seacrest. At the end of that fiscal year, Seacrest's inventory retained $12,600 (at sales price) of this merchandise, which was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2015.
