Berry Corporation acquired as a long term investment for $7,000,000 a 40% interest in an investee when the fair value of the net assets was $17,500,000 on January 1, 2017. The investee has reported the following net losses:
2017 - 5,000,000
2018 - 7,000,000
2019 - 8,000,000
2020 - 4,000,000
Problem 1: Berry Corporation made cash advances of $2,000,000 to the investee on January 1, 2019. On December 31, 2020, it is not expected that Berry Corporation will provide further financial support for the investee. Assuming in 2021, the investee earned a net income of $3,000,000, what amount should be recognized by Berry Corporation as its share in the 2021 net income of the investee?
