King Inc, together with a 3rd party investor, have created a crypto mining company whereby King Inc owns 65% of the entity. King Inc pays the 3rd party a fixed fee of 5% of all BTC mined and in return is entitled to 65% of all remaining profits. Assume the following:

  • During 2020 approximately 500 BTC was mined by the company.
  • The average price of BTC was $12,000 / 1 BTC during the year (assume BTC was mined evenly throughout the period)
  • Electricity and other costs for the full year amounted to $750,000
  • The closing price of BTC as of 12/31/2020 was $30,000 /1 BTC

Given the background above calculate and list the journal entries for the following:

  1. What was the fully year earnings of the company?
  2. As of December 31, 2020 what was King Inc's interest in the company worth?
