    B. Decrease in Equity Investment

    Explanation:

    As we know that

    At the time of payment of dividend it reduces the cash balance plus we debited the dividend payable.

    The journal entry is also shown for better understanding

    Dividend payable A/c $122,838

    To Cash A/c $122,838

    (Being the dividend is paid)

    So as per the cost method, the dividend declared by a subsidiary reduced the equity investment

    Therefore, the second option is correct
