interest in Middlebury

Highpoint owns a 95 percent majority voting interest in Middlebury. In turn, Middlebury owns an
80 percent majority voting interest in Lowton. In the current year, each firm reports the following
income and dividends. Separate Company income figures do not include any investment or
dividend income.

________________ Separate Company Income ___ Dividends Declared

Highpoint .......................$425,000.....................$200,000

Middlebury ......................340,000.......................150,000

Lowton ...........................250,000.........................75,000

In addition, in computing its income on a full accrual basis, Middlebury's acquisition of Lowton
necessitates excess acquisition-date fair value over book value amortizations of $25,000 per
year. Similarly, Highpoint's acquisition of Middlebury requires $20,000 of excess fair-value
amortizations.
