  Pаrent Cо. received а dividend frоm Sоn Inc. Pаrent Co. uses the equity method to account for the investment in Son Inc. common stock. How should Parent Co. treat the cash dividend received from Son Inc.?

Pаris Inc. аcquired 100% оf the vоting stоck of Stockholm Corp. on Jаnuary 1, 2026 for $4,500,000 and a contingent payment of $100,000 if a key employee remains with the combined company until the end of 2026.  The business combination is carried out as a merger.  Hence, after the business acquisition is completed, there will only be one entity – Paris Inc. that will include the combined assets and liabilities of Paris Inc. and Stockholm Corp. The following are the balance sheets of the two companies immediately before the business combination.   Paris Inc.: Assets:                                                                       Liabilities: Cash                                 4,000,000                          A/P                                                 1,000,000 A/R, net                            3,000,000                          Long-term debt                               15,000,000 Inventories                        7,000,000                          Equity: PP&E, net                         9,000,000                          Contributed capital                          1,000,000 Other assets                      1,000,000                          Retained earnings                          7,000,000 Total assets                       $24,000,000                      Total liabilities and equity               $24,000,000   Stockholm Corporation: Assets:                                                                       Liabilities and Equity: Cash                                 100,000                             A/P                                                 200,000 A/R, net                            400,000                             Long-term debt                               400,000 Inventories                        500,000                             Common stock                                100,000 PP&E, net                         2,400,000                          Additional paid-in capital                900,000 Patent                               200,000                             Retained earnings                           2,000,000 Total assets                       $3,600,000                        Total liabilities and equity               $3,600,000 During the due diligence process, the following differences between recorded book values and fair values associated with assets and debt at Stockholm Corp. were identified.  A patent held by Stockholm Corporation having a $200,000 carrying value was valued at $400,000.  The patent has a 20-year remaining life.  Also, the long-term debt at Stockholm Company could be paid off for $420,000 (its fair value at 1/1/26).  Any further excess cost associated with this acquisition is attributed to goodwill.  Based on past results, management estimates that there is a 75% chance that the contingent payment will be earned.  Paris Inc. uses an interest rate of 5% to incorporate the time value of money.  Required: a. Show the journal entry or entries that Plymouth Corp. will record in its general journal on January 1, 2026 to reflect this acquisition including the costs incurred as part of the business combination activities. Assume that Stockholm Corp. will cease to maintain a separate general journal and general ledger consistent with the facts provided above.  Please provide the type of account being debited or credited and whether it is increased or decreased as a result.       b. At 12/31/2026, the key employee remains with the combined company. Thus, the contingent payment was made.  Show the journal entry or entries (if any) that Paris Corp. will record in the general journal to reflect this economic event. Please provide the type of account being debited or credited and whether it is increased or decreased as a result.
