Answer: $1,542,000‬

Explanation:

Matsui paid for 60,000 out of 200,000 shares. They therefore own;

= 60,000/200,000

= 30% of Yankee shares.

Yankee had Net Income of 200,000.

Matsui will recognize their 30% of that;

= 200,000 * 30%

= $60,000

Yankee however paid dividends of $60,000 so that will reduce Matsui's holding;

= 60,000 * 30%

= $18,000

The balance for the investment at year end is;

= Opening balance + Net Income - Dividends

= 1,500,000 + 60,000 - 18,000

= $1,542,000‬
