Explanation:

(1) Compute the income from Devin reported on Pepe's books for 2010.

Net Income reported by Devin for 2010 = $300000

Add: Loss on Sale of Equipment = ($120000 - $66000 - $45000) = $9000

Less: Difference in Depreciation = ($54000/9) - ($45000/9) = $6000 - $5000 = $1000

Total Income from Devin for 2010 = $300000 + $1000 - $9000 = $308000

The Income from Devin reported on Pepe's books for 2010 will be:

= $308000 × 60%

= $308000 × 0.6

= 184800

2. Compute the income from Devin reported on Pepe's books for 2011.

Net Income reported by Devin for 2011 = $325000

Less: Difference in Depreciation = ($54000/9) - ($45000/9) = $6000 - $5000 = $1000

Total Income from Devin for 2011= $325000 - $1000 = $324000

The Income from Devin reported on Pepe's books for 2011 will be:

= $308000 × 60%

= $308000 × 0.6

= $194400

(3) Compute the noncontrolling interest in the net income of Devin for 2010.

The noncontrolling interest in the net income of Devin for 2010 will be:

= $308000 - $184800

= $123200
