Using the three companies' following financial records for 2018, prepare a consolidation worksheet. The partial equity method based on separate company incomes has been applied to each investment. (For accounts where multiple consolidation entries are required, combine all debit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the debit column of the worksheet. Similarly, combine all credit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the credit column of the worksheet. Amounts in the Debit and Credit columns should be entered as positive. Negative amounts for the Noncontrolling Interest and Consolidated Totals columns should be entered with a minus sign.)
