Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following :

Purchased outstanding stock by Ramiro= 40%

Marco net income = $90,500

Marco dividend = $21,500

From the information above, under the Equity method, Purchasing a percentage share of a stock entitles the buyer to partial ownership of the company. With Ramiro's 40% purchase of Marco's outstanding stock, Ramiro is entitled to 40% of Marco's net income and dividend.

Therefore ;

40% of net income :

0.4 × $90,500 = $36,200(Ramiro's share of net income)

40% of dividend :

0.4 × $21,500 = $8600(Ramiro's share of dividend)

Ramiro's adjustment = $(36,200 - 8600) = $27,600
