Explanation:

Calculation to Determine the amount of Equity in Investee Income that Jager should have reported for 2018

First step is to calculate the intercompany unrealized gain

Remaining inventory — end of year $ 50,000

Gross profit percentage ($33,600 ÷ $96,000)x 35%

Profit within remaining inventory$ 17,500

Intercompany unrealized gain$ 5,250

(Ownership percentage 30%*$ 17,500=$5,250)

Now let calculate the amount of Equity in Investee Income that

Equity in investee income:

Equity income accrual $ 30,000

($100,000 x 30%)

Less Deferral of intercompany unrealized gain ($5,250)

Less Goodwill amortization ($ 11,000)

Equity in investee income$ 13,750

($30,000-$5,250-$11,000)

Therefore the amount of Equity in Investee Income that Jager should have reported for 2018 will be $ 13,750
