Solutions

Expert Solution

$$ \begin{aligned} \text { Percentage of Holding } &=\frac{48,000}{240,000} \times 100 \\ &=20 \% \end{aligned} $$

Value of Investment \(=\) Cost of investment \(+\) Share in Net income - Share in dividend

$$ \begin{array}{l} =\$ 1,296,000+(\$ 240,000 \times 20 \%)-(\$ 72,000 \times 20 \%) \\ =\$ 1,296,000+\$ 48,000-\$ 14,400 \\ =\$ 1,329,600 \end{array} $$

Hence, the correct option is \(\mathbf{\$ 1 , 3 2 9 , 6 0 0}\).
