Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Renz Co.'s own net income is $1,200,000 ($4,800,000 - $3,600,000). Sogers' net income is $600,000 ($2,700,000 - $2,100,000). Renz Co. owns 80% of Sogers, so it recognizes 80% of Sogers' net income, which is $480,000 (80% of $600,000). The amortization of fair value allocations reduces this by $65,000, resulting in $415,000. Consolidated net income is $1,200,000 + $415,000 = $1,615,000. However, the correct choice is $1,735,000, which suggests an error in the calculation or options provided.
