Respuesta :

Answer: $22710

Explanation:

First and foremost, we have to calculate the dividend that was received by Howdy Doody corporation which will be:

= $67000 × 13%

= $67000 × 0.13

= $8710

Then, we calculate the increase in the fair value of the stock that was credited to the income statement which will be:

= $66000 - $52000

= $14000

We then add both the dividend received and the increase in fair value which will be:

= $8710 + $14000

= $22710
