    Tremen's "Investment in Delany Company" account would have a balance of $3,158,000

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    = Investment value + share in income

    where,

    Share in income = (Net income - dividend paid in a year) * percentage given * (number of months : total number of months in a year)

    = ($1,400,000 - $760,000) * 40% * (6 months : 12 months)

    = $128,000

    Dividend paid in a year = Dividend each quarter * number of quarters in a year

    = $190,000 * 4 quarters

    = $760,000

    And we assume the book are closed on December 31, 2018 so we take 6 months from July to December

    Now put the values to the above formula

    So, the value is equal to

    = $3,030,000 + $128,000

    = $3,158,000
