Answer:

The correct answer is $175,500.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Investment value = $120,000

Acquisition Dividend = $30,000 × 45% = $12,000

Net income share = $150,000 × 45% = $67,500

So, we can calculate the balance amount by using following formula:

Balance amount = Investment value  - Acquisition Dividend + Net income share

= $120,000 - $12,000 + $67,500

= $175,500
