b. $282,400 ($211,800 / 0.75) is the fair value of net assets on January 1, 20X5
c. $70,600 ($282,400 x 0.25) is the value assigned to the NCI shareholders on January 1,
20X5.
d. $86,600 = ($259,800 / 0.75) x 0.25 will be assigned to noncontrolling interest in the
consolidated balance sheet prepared at December 31, 20X7. Alternatively, this could be
calculated by adding the NCI’s portion of the cumulative earnings and dividends to the
balance of NCI shareholders at acquisition. $70,600 + (64,000 x .25) = $86,600.
