    correct option is c. $51,240

    Explanation:

    given data

    fair value of Ritter Inc = $2,120,000

    Landis Company purchased = $2,000,000

    rate = 8 %

    time = 5 year

    bonds sold = $2,083,160

    rate = 7%

    premiums July 1 = $7,080

    premiums December 31 = $7,320

    solution

    we get here Landis Company comprehensive income as separate component of stockholders' equity that is express as

    comprehensive income = fair value of Ritter - (bonds sold - premiums July 1 - premiums December 31) ... 1

    put here value and we get

    comprehensive income = $2,120,000 - ($2,083,160 - $7,080 - $7,320)

    comprehensive income = $51240

    so correct option is c. $51,240
