The answer is $500,000

Explanation:

The 20% interest in Renner Corp by Campbell Inc. represents a non-controlling interest.

Campbell Inc. must report the net income from Renner according to its percentage of share holding in the parent company (Renner Corp).

Renner's net income for the year was $2,500,000

Therefore, Campbell, Inc.'s 20% shareholding will be:

20% of $2,500,000

0.2 x $2,500,000

$500,000
