Ch.4 #13

In order to be consistent with all three questions (12-14), you really have to assume that the balances given in the problem are at the end of 2 years, which means that all NI and Div for both years has been included in the net assets (equity) that we see presented. So for #13 specifically, the NCI calculation should be:

Beginning FV 180 + Change in BV 130 x .4 = 52
-2 years of amort 28 x .4 = 11.2
For an Ending NCI balance of 220.8

Adding in the CY NCI or amort would be double counting it.
