Answer:
$420,000
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Dividend
= $75,000 × 40%
= $30,000
Share in income
= $375,000 × 40%
= $150,000
Balance in investment account
= Beginning balance + Share in income - Dividend
= $300,000 + $150,000 - $30,000
= $420,000
Therefore, the balance in Madison's equity method investments - Jay Corporation accounts as of December 31 should be $420,000
