Question

Alex, Incorporated, buys 30 percent of Steinbart Company on January 1, 2023, for $599,000. The equity method of accounting is to be used. Steinbart’s net assets on that date were $1.65 million. Any excess of cost over book value is attributable to a trade name with a 20-year remaining life. Steinbart immediately begins supplying inventory to Alex as follows:

Year Cost to Steinbart Transfer Price Amount Held by Alex at Year-End (at transfer price)
2023 $ 171,760 $ 226,000 $ 56,500
2024 118,320 174,000 53,000

The inventory held at the end of one year by Alex is sold at the beginning of the next.

Steinbart reports net income of $104,500 in 2023 and $139,300 in 2024 and declares $20,000 in dividends each year. What is the equity income in Steinbart to be reported by Alex in 2024?
