How can I prepare the journal entry for this . I prepared but not sure whether it is right or not.
Dec. 31

Dec. 31
Debit ::Earnings from Long-Term Investment



Credit::Income Earned


Please tell me whether it is right or not

Can you give a few more details please? There must be more to this question... like is Goreten a subsidiary of the company you are doing the entires for? If so how much ownership or control does the parent have over its subsidiary?

Or Goreten is the only company in question, either way need more info.

Also please post your homework questions here:
