Respuesta :

Answer:

the loss reported is $1,135,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of loss reported is shown below:

Investment cost $1,825,000  

Less: Share of Dividends received -$690,000 ($2,300,000 × 30%)  

Carrying value of investment $1,135,000  

Share of net loss $1,320,000  ($4,400,000 × 30%)

It should be limited to the carrying value of an investment

Hence, the loss reported is $1,135,000
