The stockholder's equity of Pop Corporation and Son Corporation on Dec 31, 2015 are as follows:

Stockholder equity accounts Dec 31, 2015
Pop Son
Capital stock 1200000 500000
Retained earnings 500000 100000
Total 1700000 600000

On Jan 2, 2016 Pop Corp acquired an 80% interest in Son Corp for $500,000. The excess fair value was due to Son's undervalued equipment by $50,000 and unrecorded patents. The undervalued equipment has a 5yr remaining life and patents are amortized over 10 yrs. The income and dividends of Pop and Son are the following :

Income and dividends
Pop Son
2016 2017 2016 2017
Net income 340,000 350,000 120,000 150,000
Dividends 240,000 250,000 80,000 90,000

1.) Determine consolidated net income for Pop Corporation and Subsidiary for 2016

This is my answer below, but according to the solution to the problem, this is incorrect. The solution shows 340,000 of Pop's income plus $20,500 of the NCI share of Son's income. Why is NCI share of income being added to Pop's income? My textbook shows NCI share being subtracted from net income to get the final consolidated net income. What am I not getting ?

Net income from Pop 340,000
Income from Son:
Net income 120,000
Less: Excess amortized
Depreciation of equipment (10,000)
Amortization of patents (7,500) (17,500)
Adjusted net income 102,500
Interest acquired 80%
Add: Income from Son 82,000
Less: Intercompany dividend from Son (64,000)
Consolidated Net income 358,000
Non controlling interest share 102,500 x .20= 20,500
