    = $72,000

    Explanation:

    During 2012, Doane earned $240,000. Rich, Inc has a 30% Interest in Doane Corp. So to calculate the amount Rich. Inc should report in the income statement we will calculate Rich, Inc. share in the amount earned by Doane.

    Doane earned = $240,000

    Rich's interest = 30%

    $240,000 * 0.30 = $72,000

    Before income taxes, the amount Rich Inc. should include in its 2012 income statement as a result of the investment is $72,000.
