    The correct answer is a) $24,000

    Explanation:

    At the end of the year, Morgan still holds $140,000 of this merchandise

    Lewis Inc. owns 40% of Morgan and applies the equity method

    40% = 0.4

    $140,000 x 40% = $56,000

    Lewis buys inventory costing $400,000 and sells it to Morgan for $700,000.

    $700,000 - $400,000 = $300,000

    =$56,000 x ($300,000 : $700,000)

    =$56,000 x 0,428571429

    = $24,000
