year) are credited to the investment account until the debit was fully offset.

Company. On same date, the shares received as stock dividend were sold at P160 per
share and the proceeds were credited to income.

Company found that each new share was worth P5 more than the P110 paid for the
original shares.

share and credited the proceeds to the investment account.
