On November 17, Tasty Foods purchased 1,000 shares (10%) of Eco-Safe Packaging's voting
stock for $12 per share. Because Tasty Foods has no immediate plans to sell the stock, the
investment is classified as an available-for-sale security. By the end of the year, Eco- Safe
Packaging's stock price has dropped to $10 per share. How would the drop in stock price affect

Also, it states that UMW earned £520,000 this year and paid out £160,000 in cash dividends.

This means that only a small proportion of their earning power is recorded in our own current operating earnings. But, while our reported operating earnings reflect only the dividends received from such companies, our economicwell-being is determined by their earnings, not their dividends.The value to Berkshire Hathaway of retained earnings (of our investees) is not determined by whether we own 100%, 50%, 20%, or 1% of the businesses in which they reside… .
