On January 4, 2011, RTN Industries paid $648,000 for 20,000 shares of Austin Cattle Company common stock. The investment represents a 30% interest in the net assets of Austin and gave RTN the ability to exercise significant influence over Austin’s operations. RTN received dividends of $3.00 per share on December 6, 2011, and Austin reported net income of $320,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The market value of Austin’s common stock at December 31, 2011, was $32 per share. The book value of Austin’s net assets was $1,600,000 and:
a. The fair market value of Austin’s depreciable assets, with an average remaining useful life of 8 years, exceeded their book value by $160,000.
b. The remainder of the excess of the cost of the investment over the book value of net assets purchased was attributable to goodwill.
Required:
1. Prepare all appropriate journal entries related to the investment during 2011, assuming RTN accounts for this investment by the equity method.
2. Prepare the journal entries required by RTN, assuming that the 20,000 shares represent a 10% interest in the net assets of Austin rather than a 30% interest, and that RTN anticipates holding their investment in Austin for the foreseeable future.

(05.04 mc) a 2012 report from the u. s. surgeon general stated: "another common practice is strategically locating tobacco-related marketing materials where young children will be exposed to them. tobacco industry executives acknowledge that products and advertising should be placed at eye level (pollay 2007), but in california, 48% of stores had at least one cigarette marketing item at or below 3 feet from the floor (feighery et al. 2001)." it was also noted that 25% of cigarette displays were next to candy. in addition, a national study found that about one-third of the stores had tobacco ads at low heights. after california banned counter displays, some stores place cigarettes in transparent displays so product brands could still be seen. why did some stores use transparent units to display the cigarettes? (3 points) to comply with the new rules while still encouraging cigarette purchases via visual exposure to ensure children and minors are not exposed to cigarettes and their eye-catching packaging to minimize exposure to humidity, extending the shelf life of the cigarettes' tobacco to reduce the occurrence of shoplifting, since cigarettes are high-revenue items
