Explanation:
a. Calculation for What amount of equity method income would Matthew recognize in 2021 from its ownership interest in Lindman
2021 EQUITY INCOME
Equity income accrual 2021 $27,000
($90,000*3)
Amortization ($9,000)
Intra entity profit Recognized in 2020 transfer $1,200
($40,000*0.25*0.4*0.3)
Intra entity profit Deferred in 2021 transfer ($2,640)
($50,000*0.4*0.44*0.3)
2021 EQUITY INCOME $16,560
Calculation for gross profit rate on 2020 transfer
Gross profit rate=$16,000/$40,000
Gross profit rate=0.4
Calculation for gross profit rate on 2021 transfer
Gross profit rate=$22,000/$50,000
Gross profit rate=0.44
Therefore the amount of equity method income that Matthew would recognize in 2021 from its ownership interest in Lindman is $16,560
b. Calculation for What is the equity method balance in the Investment in Lindman account at the end of 2021
EQUITY METHOD BALANCE
Investment in Lindman (1/1/2021) $335,000
Equity income 2021 $16,560
Dividend 2021 (-$9,000)
($30,000*0.3)
Investment in Lindman (31/12/2021) $342,560
Therefore the equity method balance in the Investment in Lindman account at the end of 2021 will be $342,560
