Cognitive dissonance is a psychological notion when an individual experiences thoughts and emotions that are not consistent (no matter the environment).

Brown Corporation earns $600,000 and pays cash dividends of $200,000 during 2012. Dexter Corporation owns 3,000 of the 10,000 ou
fomenos

Answer: $920,000

Explanation:

Given the following :

Beginning balance = $800,000

Brown's earning = $600,000

Casg Dividend = $200,000

Dexter's portion of brown's outstanding shares = 3000/ 10000 = 0.3

Therefore, Dexter's investment account is as follows :

Beginning balance + (earning × 0.3) - (Dividend × 0.3)

$800,000 + ($600,000 × 0.3) - ($200,000 × 0.3)

$800,000 + $180,000 - $60,000

$980000 - $60000 = 920000
