Requirement 1
Total stockholders' equity at January 1,2014:
$300,000 + $20 (5,000)= $400,000
Grimsled's percent ownership:
16,000 / 24,000 = 0.64
Grimsled's share of stockholders' equity at January 1,2014:
0.64 × $400,000 = $256,000
Grimsled's prior share of stockholders' equity at January 1,2014 (Before additional sale):
$300,000 × 80% = $240,000
Increase in ownership: $256,000 - $240,000 = $16,000
--------------------------------------------
 Investment 16,000 Additional paid-in capital 16,000\begin{array} { l } \text { Investment }&16,000 \\\text { Additional paid-in capital }&&16,000\end{array} ---------------------------------------------
Requirement 2
Total stockholders' equity at January 1,2014:
$300,000 + $35 (5,000)= $475,000
Grimsled's percent ownership:
0.64
Grimsled's share of stockholders' equity at January 1,2014:
0.64 × $475,000 = $304,000
Grimsled's prior share of stockholders' equity at January 1,2014 (Before additional sale):
$300,000 × 80% = $240,000
Increase in ownership: $304,000 - $240,000 = $64,000
--------------------------------------------
 Investment 64,000 Additional paid-in capital 64,000\begin{array}{lrr}\text { Investment }&64,000\\ \text { Additional paid-in capital } &&64,000\\\end{array}
--------------------------------------------
Requirement 3
Total stockholders' equity at January 1,2014:
$300,000 + $10 (5,000)= $350,000
Grimsled's percent ownership:
0.64
Grimsled's share of stockholders' equity at January 1,2014:
0.64 × $350,000 = $224,000
Grimsled's prior share of stockholders' equity at January 1,2014 (Before additional sale):
$300,000 × 80% = $240,000
Decrease in ownership: $240,000 - $224,000 = $16,000
