Answer:

January 4, 2020, 10 million shares of Lavery Labeling Company are purchased (in millions)

Dr Investment in Lavery Labeling Company 324

    Cr Cash 324

December 15, 2020, dividends received from Lavery Labeling Company (in million)

Dr Cash 20

    Cr Dividend revenue 20

December 31, 2020, fair value adjustment of Investment in Lavery Labeling Company

Dr Unrealized holding loss 14

    Cr Fair value adjustment 14

The stocks were purchased at $32.40 each, and now they are worth $31, which results in an unrealized loss of $1.40 per stock x 10 million stocks.

Under the fair value method, a company's reported net income does not affect the carrying value of the investment account, neither does any difference in the market value of the company's assets.
