Answer is $792,000
Explanation:
Number of shares purchased = 60000
Purchase price per share = $11.50
Total purchase price = Number of shares purchased*Purchase price per share = 60000*$11.50 = $690000
Share of dividend received from company = $80000*30% = $24000
Share of net income in Hurtado Company = ($420000 - $80000)*30% = $102000
Amount to be reported in walker report for its investment = Total purchase price + Share of net income in Hurtado Company
= $690000 + $102000 = $792000
