For 2020, what amount of Equity Income will Emily record? How to get the answer of 1,125,000

$ 1,125,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of Equity Income that Emily will record

First step is to find the Net equity income using this formula

Net equity income= Net income +Dividends

Let plug in the formula

Net equity income=$250,000+$25,000

Net equity income=$225,000

Second step is to find the balance of investment using this formula

Balance of investment= (Common stock + Net equity income )- Amortization of unrecorded patent

Let plug in the formula

Balance of investment =($1,000,000+$225,000 )-($600,000/6)

Balance of investment=$1,225,000-$100,000

Balance of investment = $ 1,125,000

Therefore the amount of Equity Income that Emily will record will be $ 1,125,000
