Marwick Inc.'s equity-method investee earned $400,000 and paid total dividends of $150,000 during the year; Marwick owns 30%. Marwick's net income already includes its $120,000 equity-method share of investee earnings.

Under the indirect method, what is the net adjustment to net income in the operating section for this investment, and why?

  1. Subtract $75,000, because equity income exceeds dividends received by that amount
  2. Add $45,000, because dividends received exceed the equity income recognized
  3. Subtract $120,000 equity income and separately add $45,000 dividends, with no net operating effect
  4. Subtract $120,000 equity income; the $45,000 dividend is an investing inflow
