Working notes:
1) Calculation of dividend received :
No. of shares held = 30,000
Dividend per share = $0.30
The dividend per quarter = 30,000* $0.30 = $9,000
2) In equity method stock investment is 30,000* $34 per share = $1,020,000
Unrealized gain equity is $1,020,000 – $800,000 = $220,000
3) Dividend revenue is 4*$9,000 = $36,000
