Answer:

Dr Investment in shares $375,125

Cr Cash $375,125

Dr cash $7,500

Cr Investment income $7,500

Dr Cash $176,580

Cr investment in shares $142,547.50

Cr gain on investment $ 34,032.50

Step-by-step explanation:

On the date of purchase the total cash paid is computed thus:

(15,000*$25)+$125=$375,125 which is debited investment account and credited to cash.

The dividends received =15,000*$0.50=$7,500 which debited to cash and credit to investment income.

Sale of 5700 brings in cash $ 176,580.00 ($31*5700)-$120 which is debited to cash and whose cost of $ 142,547.50 (5700*15000*$375,125) would be credited to investment account while the difference of $ 34,032.50

($176580-$142,547.50) is credited to gain on investment.
