    Explanation:

    The equity method is a type of accounting used to incorporate investments. It is used when the investor holds significant influence over the investee but does not exercise full control over it.

    An investor is deemed to have significant influence over an investee if it owns between 20% to 50% of the investee's shares or voting rights.

    - Jolley receives dividends of $10,000, which is 25% of $40,000, and records a reduction in their investment account. The reason for this is that they have received money from their investee.

    - Jolley records the net income from Tige Co. as an increase to its Investment account.
