Total shares of Davel Corp. = 7,500
Number of shares acquired of Davel Corp.= 2,250
Percentage of shares acquired of Davel Corp. = Number of shares acquired of Davel Corp./Total shares of Davel Corp
= 2,250/7,500
= 30%
Beginning of the year investment balance = $60,000
Revenue from investment in Davel Corp. = Net income of Davel Corp. x Percentage of common stock acquired
= 45,000 x 30%
= $13,500
Share of dividend from Davel Corp. = Dividend paid by Davel Corp. x Percentage of common stock acquired
= 15,000 x 30%
= $4,500
Balance in investment at December 31, 2020 = Beginning of the year investment balance + Revenue from investment in Davel Corp. - Share of dividend from Davel Corp.
= 60,000 + 13,500 - 4,500
