Anderson acquires 10 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Barringer on January 1,2013, for $92,000 and categorizes the investment as an available-for-sale security. An additional 20 percent of the stock is purchased on January 1,2014, for $210,000, which gives Anderson the ability to significantly influence Barringer. Barringer has a book value of $800,000 at January 1,2013, and records net income of $180,000 for that year. Barringer declared and paid dividends of $80,000 during 2013.
