Alondra Wang · Answer 1

Long-term Investment cost = $25

Long-term Investment sales value = $54

Gain from Long-term Investment = $ (54-25) = $29

Land cost = $53

Land sales value = $28

Loss from sale of Land = $ (28-53) = - $25

Cash Dividend paid = $22

Total change in Assets = $ (29-25) = $4

Total change in Equity = - $22
