Explanation / Answer

Solution: noncontrolling interest balance will be $27,200

Working:

$100,000 - Preferred Dividends $18,000 ($6 * 3,000) = $82,000

$82,000 * 0.20 = $16,400

Preferred Dividends $18,000 * .60 = $10,800

$16,400 Income + $10,800 Preferred Dividends = $27,200 Income to noncontrolling interest
