Panner, Inc., owns 35 percent of Watkins and applies the equity method. During the current year, Panner buys inventory costing $86,800 and then sells it to Watkins for $124,000. At the end of the year, Watkins still holds only $21,800 of merchandise. What amount of gross profit must Panner defer in reporting this investment using the equity method

Sagot :

Answer: $2289

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the gross percentage which would be:

= (Revenue - Cost of goods sold) Revenue

= ($124000 - $86800) / $124000

= 30%

Therefore, the amount of gross profit must Panner defer in reporting this investment using the equity method would be:

= ($21800 × 30%) × 35%

= $21800 × 0.3 × 0.35

= $2289
