Answer #1

The computation of Investment in Ali Corp. account balance is shown below:-

Initial investment = $372,000

Entries in 2016 = $180,000 - $70,000 - ($216,000 - $180,000 / 2)

= $180,000 - $70,000 - $18,000

= $92,000

Entries in 2017 = $216,000 - $70,000 - ($216,000 - $180,000 / 2)

= = $216,000 - $70,000 - $18,000

= $128,000

Entries in 2018 = ($840,000 - $600,000) - $70,000 - ($216,000 - $180,000 / 2)

= $240,000 - $70,000 - $18,000

= $152,000

Investment = Initial investment + Entries in 2016 + Entries in 2017 + Entries in 2018

= $372,000 + $92,000 + $128,000 + $152,000

= $744,000

So, the correct option is A.
