        Fair value (purchase price) of 75% interest acquired          $180,000
       Implied fair value of Stem ($180,000 / 75%)                    $240,000
        Book value of Stem's net assets                               $ (200,000)
       Excess fair value over book value acquired                     $40,000
       Initial investment cost $180,000
        Income from Stem: (75%)($40,000)=                              $ 30,000
       Dividends ($20,000)(75%) = -15,000
