On January 1, 2018, Green Corporation purchased 30% of the outstanding voting common stock of Gold Company for $300,850. The book value of the acquired shares was $275,400. The excess of cost over book value is attributable to an intangible asset on Gold's books that was undervalued and had a remaining useful life of five years. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Gold reported net income of $125,600 and paid cash dividends of $25,050. What is the carrying value of Green's investment in Gold at December 31, 2018?
