- Elimination of investment in C corporation common stock, retained earnings $270,000 ( $200,000 + $35,000 + $35,000) and differential $30,00 ( $50,000 -$10,000 - $10,000) is debited and investment in C corporation of $560,000 ($520,000 + [( $35,000 - $10,000) x .80] x 2 years and non-controlling interest of $140,000 ($700,000 x .20) is credited
