Question:

On January 1, 2019, Halstead, Inc., purchased 75,000 shares of Sedgwick Company common stock for $1,480,000, giving Halstead 25 percent ownership and the ability to apply significant influence over Sedgwick. Any excess of cost over book value acquired was attributed solely to goodwill.

Sedgwick reports net income and dividends as follows. These amounts are assumed to have occurred evenly throughout these years. Dividends are declared and paid in the same period.

Annual Cash Dividends Net Income (paid quarterly) 2019 2020 $340,000 480,000 600,000 $120,000 140,000 2021 160,000

On July 1, 2021, Halstead sells 12,000 shares of this investment for $25 per share, thus reducing its interest from 25 to 21 percent, but maintaining its significant influence.

Determine the amounts that would appear on Halstead’s 2021 income statement relating to its ownership and partial sale of its investment in Sedgwick’s common stock.
