For reaching the gain be on sale first we need to follow some steps which is following below:-

Step 1

December 31, 2021 Investment = Initial investment + Net income - Dividend

= $1,060,000 + ($364,000 × 40%) - ($250,000 × 40%)

= $1,060,000 + $145,600 - $100,000

= $1,205,600 - $100,000

Step 2

July 1,2022 Investment = December 31, 2021 Investment + Net income - Dividend

= $1,105,600 + ($533,000 × 6 months ÷ 12 months × 40%) - ($138,000 × 40%)

= $1,105,600 + $106,600 - $55,200
