I've got a good feeling about C. Reducing the investment account by the ownership percentage seems like the logical way to go here.

Haha, I bet the answer is A. Increasing the investment account for cash dividends? That's just silly!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with B, the investee must adjust the investment account by the ownership interest.

I think the correct answer is C. The investment account should be adjusted downward by the percentage of ownership to reflect the reduced investment value.
