a.
What is the consolidated net income in each of these two years
2009: 70000+220000-(8000) = 282000
2010: 90000+260000-(8000) = 342000
b.

What is the balance of Noncontrolling Interest in Net Income for

2009 and 2010?
2009: 70000 8000 = 62000 * .1 = 6200.. Equity in NI = 55800
2010: 90000 8000 = 82000 * .1 = 8200.. Equity in NI = 73800
c.
What is the ending Noncontrolling Interest balance as of
December 31, 2010?
75000 + (70000*.1) + (90000*.1) (8000*.1*2) (30000*.1*2)
= 83400

Prepare the consolidated Stockholders Equity section for Miller and sub on
December 31, 2011.
e. Calculate the balance of Investment in Taylor on Millers books on
December 31, 2011 (Miller uses the equity method).
