Computing the amount of equity income and preparing [I] consolidation journal entries-Equity method

Assume that a wholly owned subsidiary sells inventory to the parent company. The parent company, ultimately, sells the inventory to customers outside of the consolidated group. The parent company compiled the following data for the years ending 2018 and 2019:

	Subsidiary Net Income	Intercompany Inventory Sales	Gross Profit %	% Inventory Remaining at End of Year	Receivable (Payable)
2019	$600,000	$80,000	35%	15%	$30,000
2018	$500,000	$60,000	30%	12%	$25,000

Assume that inventory not remaining at the end of the year was sold outside of the consolidated group during the year. Assume the parent company uses the equity method to account for its subsidiary. The subsidiary paid $450,000 in dividends during 2019.
