Step-by-step explanation

October 31, 2021 through the Acquisition of 20,000 additional shares, White gain significant influence in which the company's investment should be recorded as Investment in Associate. The percentage owned by White company is 30%

 

Initial Measurement of Investment in Associate is the Acquisition cost on October 31, 2022 + the Fair value of the 10% on October 31, 2022 

 

3,000,000 + 1,400,000 = 4,400,000 Initial Measurement of the Investment in Associate

 

Investment Income is share in Net Income less the Amortization from the undervalued assets 

 

(8,000,000 Net Income × 30% × 2/12) - (((640,000×30%)/5) × 2/12) = 393,600 Net Investment Income

 

Carrying Value of the Investment in Associate is Initial Measurement + Net Investment Income - Share in Dividends 

 

4,400,000 + 393,600 - (500,000×30%) = 4,643,600 Carrying Value of the Investment in Associate
