"3. For this question only, assume that on January 2, 2018, Pops, Inc. acquired 192,000 shares of Son Corp. at a cost of $10 per share. At what amount should the Investment in Son be reported on Pops’ December 31, 2018 balance sheet?"

The investment in Son Corp. should be reported on Pops' December 31, 2018 balance sheet at $1,920,000 ($10 * 192,000).

Explanation:

There is no indication that the fair price of the shares of Son Corp. has changed from its original cost of $10.  Therefore, the investment in Son Corp. can only be reported on the balance sheet of Pops' at the cost price on acquisition.  But, assuming that the price has fluctuated over the period, the investment would have been valued at the current market price multiplied by the number of shares.

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
