(A)

Journal entry to record sale of 20,000 shares

Particular Debit Credit
Cash account 240000
Profit on sale of investment 69167
Investment in Olivia company account 170833

Cash account = 12 × 20000 which is 240000

Investment in Olivia company account = (820000/96000)×20000 which is 170833 approximately

Profit on sale of investment =240000-170833 which is 69167

X = 96000/24%

X = 400000
