Power Corporation acquired 75 percent of Best Company’s ownership on January 1, 20X8, for $96,000. At that date, the fair value of Best’s buildings and equipment was $20,000 more than book value. Buildings and equipment are depreciated on a 10-year basis. Although goodwill is not amortized, the management of Power concluded at December 31, 20X8, that goodwill involved in its purchase of Best shares had been impaired and the correct carrying value was $2,500. No additional impairment occurred
in 20X9. Trial balance data for Power and Best on December 31, 20X9, are as follows:

Please post your answer so that a proper guidance can be made available to you. It is not possible to provide you with the solution to your problem.

However, I think there is some error. In the first line you have said

Power Corporation acquired 75 percent of Best Company’s ownership on January 1, 20X8, for $96,000

However, the trial balance shows investment in subsidiary at $111,000.

Again what is the composition of Income from subsidiary $25,500?
