Anderson acquires 10 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Barringer on January 1,2007, for $92,000 and categorizes the investment as an available-for-sale security. An additional 20 percent of the stock is purchased on January 1, 2008, for $210,000, which gives Anderson the ability to sig¬ nificantly influence Barringer. Barringer has a book value of $800,000 at January 1, 2007, and records net income of $180,000 for that year. Barringer paid dividends of $80,000 during 2007. The book values of Barringer’s asset and liability accounts are considered as equal to fair values except for a copyright whose value accounted for Anderson’s excess cost in each purchase. The copyright had a remaining life of 16 years at January 1, 2007.

Barringer reported $210,000 of net income during 2008 and $230,000 in 2009. Dividends of $100,000 are paid in each of these years. Anderson uses the equity method.
