Gideon Mills · Answer 1

cash dividends: 3,000

Explanation:

We can solve for cash dividends based on how the equity method works:

Beginning investing

+ proportional net income

- cash dividends received

Ending investing

beginning + inomce - dividends = ending

10,000 + 4,000 - cash dividends = 11,000

cash dividends = 14,000 - 11,000

cash dividends = 3,000

when received, the journal entry for the dividends was as follow:

cash 3,000 debit

investing 3,000 credit

to record cash received from investment
