 c. 20% of Sago's net income to June 30 and all of Sago's net income from July 1 to December 31.

         Explanation 
 Choice "a" is correct. 20% of Sago's net income to June 30 and 95% of Sago's net income from July 1 to December 31. 
 Rule: In an acquisition, the net income of a newly acquired subsidiary will only be included in consolidated net income from the date of acquisition. Therefore, only 20% of Sago net income is included in consolidated earnings until June 30 and 95% thereafter.
