Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The equity in investee income for the year 2017 is

Equity income Accrual ($102,000 × 25%) $25500

Less: Deferral of Infra-entity gross profit  ($2,030)

Less: Amortization of patent ($10,800)

Equity in investee income $12,670

Working Note:

Ending Balance of Inventory  $29,000

Gross Profit Percentage (($75,000 - $54,000) ÷ $75,000) 28%

Profit within Remaining Inventory $8,120

Ownership Percentage 25%

Intraentity gross Profit Deferral $2,030

b. The intra-entity impact for the year 2018 is that yhe accrual equity would be increased by $2,030
