Respuesta :

Answer:

$18,000

Explanation:

On July 1, Year 1

Denver Corp. invested in E company holding:

= (3,000 ÷ 10,000) × 100

= 30% of share

Hence, the period of holding as on December 31, Year 1 is 6 months.

Net income for E co. for the year ended December 31, Year 1 = $120,000

Amount of income from this investment should Denver report:

= $120,000 × 30% × (6/12)

= $18,000
