Explanation:

Non- Controlling Interest is calculated as

Book Value of Park      $560,000

Acquired of Park          ($420,000)

Undervalued Assets    ($14,000)       ($140,000 / 10 years)

Net Value of Park         $126,000

NCI = $126,000 * 40%

NCI = $50,400

Non- Controlling Interest in subsidiary on December 31, 2015 is $330,400

Non- Controlling Interest in the subsidiary at year end is calculated by Adding the value of undervalued assets in to Book Value of Subsidiary

($560,000 + $140,000) = $280,000

This amount is then added in The Non-Controlling Interest Calculated above

$50,400 + $280,000 = $330,400

it will get mixed up

explanation:

odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers. if n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be odd consecutive integers. the first number in the pattern is always the variable on its own or in this case, "n". examples.
