Question:

On January 1, 2011, Monroe, Inc., purchased 10,000 shares of Brown Company for $250,000, giving Monroe 10 percent ownership of Brown. On January 1, 2012, Monroe purchased an additional 20,000 shares (20 percent) for $590,000. This latest purchase gave Monroe the ability to apply significant influence over Brown. The original 10 percent investment was categorized as an available-for-sale security. Any excess of cost over book value acquired for either investment was attributed solely to goodwill.
Brown reports net income and dividends as follows. These amounts are assumed to have occurred evenly throughout these years.

2011...........................$350,000...............$100,000
2012........................... 480,000..................110,000
2013........................... 500,000..................120,000
On July 1, 2013, Monroe sells 2,000 shares of this investment for $46 per share, thus reducing its interest from 30 to 28 percent. However, the company retains the ability to significantly influence Brown. Using the equity method, what amounts appear in Monroe's 2013 income statement?
