See the explanation below

Explanation:

(a) Gambino Cosmetics

Since Gambino Cosmetics just 15% which is less than 20% of Nevins Fashion, the cost method for accounting for investments is the relevant method that is used as follows:

Stock investment = 10% * 200,000 * $13 = $260,000

Dividend income = 10% * $60,000 = $6,000

Available-for-sale (AFS) reserve = 10% * $122,000 = $12,000
