    The amount of investment income is $52,000

    Explanation:

    Assets of $690,000

    Liabilities of $230,000

    Spoon's assets were equal except for land, which had a fair value $108,000 more than book value, and equipment, which had a fair value $80,000 more than book value.

    Net income of $68,000

    Paid dividends of $34,000

    Proportionate share of reported income

    Share in income from investment = 68000 * 100% = $68,000

    Depreciation on equipment = (80,000 : 5) = ($16,000)

    Amount of investment income = $68,000 - $16,000

    = $52,000
