Answer:

The answer is: $250,000

Explanation:

Larkin's investment can be calculated as follows:

carrying investment at the beginning of the year + share of profits form the year's operation - share of dividends paid during the year =

$200,000 + ($600,000 x 25%) - ($400,000 x 25%)=

$200,000 + $150,000 - $100,000 = $250,000
