Answer:
Option C. Debit Cash and credit Stock Investments
Explanation:
The reason is that in the equity method of recording the dividends receipts, it is always deducted from the stock investment and the relevant share of reported net income of the associate is added to the stock investment.
So mathematically,
Stock Investment Under Equity Method = Opening Value for the year + Share of Net Income - Dividend received
Stock Investment Under Equity Method = $300,000 + $160,000 * 25% + $60,000 * 25% = $325,000
The above treatment shows that the recording of dividends include credit to stock investment and the cash receipt is always debited.
So the double entry would be:
Dr Cash $15,000
Cr Dividends $15,000
So the option C is correct.

Answer:
d. the camry becomes an inferior good because the good is now perceived as lower in quality than a lexus
Explanation:
There are a number goods that over time, for a variety of reasons, transition from being a normal good to an inferior good or from being an inferior good to a normal good. One such example of a good is the Toyota Camry. In the 1980s, more income for a household usually resulted in more Camrys being purchased. However, today more Toyota Camrys are purchased by households that have experienced a reduction in income.
How could this happen?
<u>This could only have happened because of a change in perception in households over time. </u>
It is stated in the Scenario that ''today more Toyota Camrys are purchased by households that have experienced a reduction in income.''
<u>That means Toyota Camry has become an inferior good that is purchased more when income falls.</u>
<u>Hence, the only reason the scenario would have occurred is that the camry becomes an inferior good because the good is now perceived as lower in quality</u> than a lexus
