What amount should Pare report in its December 31 balance sheet as investment in Tot?

7. On January 1, Point purchased 10% of Iona Company’s common stock. Point purchased additional shares, bringing its ownership up to 40% of Iona’s common stock outstanding, on August 1. During October, Iona declared and paid a cash dividend on all of its outstanding common stock. How much income from the Iona investment should Point’s income statement report?

8. On January 2, Kean Company purchased a 30% interest in Pod Company for $250,000. On this date, Pod’s stockholders’ equity was $500,000. The carrying amounts of Pod’s identifiable net assets approximated their fair values, except for land, whose fair value exceeded its carrying amount by $200,000.
