The $1,724,000 is the investment amount which is to be recorded as of December 31.

Explanation:

For computing the investment income, the calculation is shown below:

= Paid value + net income percentage - dividend

where,

Paid value= $1.6 million

Net income percentage = Net income × percentage

                                        = $560,000 × 40%

                                        = $224,000

And, dividend = number of shares × per share

                       = 50,000 × 2

                       = $100,000

So, the investment amount would be

= Paid amount + net income percentage - dividend

= $1,600,000 + $224,000 - $100,000

= $1,724,000

Hence, the $1,724,000 is the investment amount which is to be recorded as of December 31.
