Net income before adjusting for interests in intercompany net income for each corporation follows:
Akron, Inc. | A(0) = 180,000 |
Benson Co. | B(0) = 130,000 |
Cashin, Inc. | C(0) = 320,000 |
Ignore all income tax considerations.
A(e) = Akron's consolidated net income; that is, its net income plus its share of the consolidated net income of Benson and Cashin
B(e) = Benson's consolidated net income; that is, its net income plus its share of the consolidated net income of Cashin
C(e) = Cashin's consolidated net income; that is, its net income plus its share of the consolidated net income of Akron
Suppose a parent company (or parent companies) owns less than 100% but more than 50% of a subsidiary company. Then, the part of the consolidated net income that doesn't belong to the parent companies is called the subsidiary's company minority interest.

A) 61,090
B) 45,500
