2013 Income Recognized:
2013 Income $108,000 × 30% = $32,400 2012
Inventory Profit Realized $48,000 - $28,800 = $19,200 × 25% = $4,800 × 30% = $1,440
2013 Inventory Profit Deferred =$60,000 - $33,600 = $26,400 × 40% = $10,560 × 30% = $3,168
2013 Purchase Amortization $8,000 $32,400 + $1,440 - $3,168 - $8,000 = $22,672
2013 Dividend Received = ($36,000 × 30%) = $10,800
