    The balance in the investment account on December 31, 2018 is $950,800

    Explanation:

    The computation of the balance in the investment account is shown below:

    = Common stock value - net loss - dividend amount

    where,

    Common stock is $1,000,000

    Net loss = Net loss * percentage rate

    = $140,000 * 30%

    = $42,000

    And, the dividend equals to

    = dividend * percentage rate

    = $24,000 * 30%

    = $7,200

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the answer would be equal to

    = $1,000,000 - $42,000 - $7,200

    = $950,800
