Investment............18,000
................Equity income.........18,000
Cash......................6,000
................Investment..............6,000
But FV is used.
so the above entries aren't made.
The only entry needed is:
Investment.............10,000
................Equity Income..........10,000
no wait, that's not right, because you still need to record cash dividends that comes in, which means you would NEED to make at least that second entry above. So what I would do is...DO the first two entries above (repeated below), then force adjust Investment to 410,000. So you do
Investment............18,000
................Equity income.........18,000
Cash......................6,000
................Investment..............6,000
Then,
Equity Income..........2,000
.................Investment.............2,000
