    b) $665,000.

    Explanation:

    Primer income: $625,000

    SealCoat income: $50,000

    Primer interest in SealCoat is 80% therefore primer is a parent company to SealCoat and is entitled to $40,000 (80%*$50,000) on SealCoat income.

    Therefore, consolidated net income for 2013 is: $665,000 (625,000+40000)
