On January 1, 2012, the Regal Company purchased 30% of the outstanding voting stock of the Air Corporation for $300,000; the book value of Air’s net assets at the date of purchase was $900,000. Regal was willing to pay more than the book value of the acquired shares because Air’s depreciable assets with a ten-year remaining life was undervalued. Regal uses straight-line depreciation. During 2012, Air reported net income of $75,000 and paid dividends of $30,000. What is the income reported by Regal during 2012 pertaining to the Air investment?
