    Could it have something to do with the last sentence in point (iv) in the question (June 2015!)

    “Investment income in the trial balance above includes the profit on the sale of the investment and dividends received during the year.”

    It’s in the trial balance in the question, second figure up in the credit column, opposite the narrative “Investment income (note (iv))”

    OK?

    What do you mean ” they ignore this calculation carrying amount of $1.4m and and sold for $1.6m =$ 0.2m”

    It’s there in working (iii) 300 dividends + 200 profit on sale + 500 gain in fair value = 1,000

    OK?
