Answer:

Investment revenue = $91,000

Explanation:

the journal entry to record the dividends received would be:

Dr Cash 31,500

    Cr Investment in Tetter Co. 31,500

the journal entry to record the reporting of the net income:

Dr Investment in Tetter Co. 91,000

    Cr Investment revenue 91,000

When a company uses the equity method, any dividends received will decrease the carrying value of the investment, while any net income reported will be considered investment revenue.
