Lobes Co. owns 65% of Banes Limited. During 20X5, Banes sold equipment to Lobes for a gain of $150,000, recognizing a gain on sale (before taxes)of $75,000. Lobes determined that the equipment had a useful life of 10 years, and took a full year's deprecation in 20X5. On April 1, 20X8, Lobes sold the equipment to an unaffiliated company for $110,000. Ignore any taxes.

This is an upstream sale, and therefore there is an impact on the non-controlling interest.
The various adjustments are provided in journal entry format below:
20X5:
Gain on sale of equipment $75,000 Equipment $75,000\begin{array}{llr} \text { Gain on sale of equipment } &\$ 75,000\\ \text { Equipment } &&\$75,000\\\end{array} Gain on sale of equipment Equipment $75,000$75,000

The net impact of the above adjustments on net income will be to decrease it by $67,500. Of this amount, 35% is attributable to the NCI, while the rest belongs to the owners of the parent.
20X6:

The decrease in the depreciation expense of $7,500 will increase net income by that amount. Of this amount, $2,625 is attributable to the NCI, while the rest is attributable to the owners of the parent.
20X7:
Retained earnings, opening 39,000 NCI 21,000 Accumulated depreciation 15,000 Equipment 75,000\begin{array} { l } \text { Retained earnings, opening } &39,000\\\text { NCI } &&21,000\\\text { Accumulated depreciation } &15,000\\\quad \text { Equipment }&&75,000\end{array} Retained earnings, opening NCI Accumulated depreciation Equipment 39,00015,00021,00075,000 Accumulated depreciation 7,500 Depreciation expense 7,500\begin{array}{llr} \text { Accumulated depreciation } &7,500\\ \text { Depreciation expense } &&7,500\\\end{array} Accumulated depreciation Depreciation expense 7,5007,500
Again, the decrease in depreciation expense of $7,500 will increase net income by that amount. Of this amount, $2,625 is attributable to the NCI, while the rest is attributable to the owners of the parent.
20X8:
Retained earnings, opening 34,125 NCI 18,375 Accumulated depreciation 22,500 Equipment 75,000\begin{array} { l } \text { Retained earnings, opening }&34,125 \\\text { NCI } &&18,375\\\text { Accumulated depreciation } &22,500\\\quad \text { Equipment }&&75,000\end{array} Retained earnings, opening NCI Accumulated depreciation Equipment 34,12522,50018,37575,000 Accumulated depreciation 1,875 Depreciation expense 1,875\begin{array}{ccc}\text { Accumulated depreciation } & 1,875 & \\\text { Depreciation expense } & & 1,875\end{array} Accumulated depreciation Depreciation expense 1,8751,875
(assuming three months' depreciation is taken)

The overall impact of the above entries on net income will be to increase it by $52,500 × 35% attributable to the NCI, while the rest is attributable to the owners of the parent.
