Accounting consolidation - please explain

Thompson Company spent $240,000 to acquire all of Lake Corporations stock on January 1, 20X2. On December 31, 20X4, the trial balances of the two companies were as follows:

Thompson Lake
Item Debit Credit Debit Credit
Cash 74 42
Accounts Receivable 130 53
land 60 50
buildings/equipment 500 350
investment in lake co stock 268
cost of goods 470 130
depreciation expense 35 18
other expenses 57 60
dividends declared 30 12
accum depreciation 265 93

common stock 200 100
retained earnings 292 120
service revenue 610 240
income from subsidiary 28
Total 1624 1624 715 715

Lake Corporation reported retained earnings of $100,000 at the date of acquisition. The difference between the acquisition price and underlying book value is assigned to buildings and equipment with a remaining economic life of 10 years from the date of acquisition. Lakes accumulated depreciation on the acquisition date was $25,000. At December 31, 20X4, Lake owed Thompson $2,500.

Give journal entry to record Thompson Co.'s 100% share of Lake Corp.'s 20X4 income

I know the answer is

Investment in Lake Corp 32

Income from Lake Corp 32

I don't know where 32 comes from. The listed income is 28. If someone could explain, that would be great.
