    C) $250,000

    Explanation:

    Larkin's investment in Devon at the end of the year = carrying amount at the beginning of the year + Larkin's share of Devon's income - Larkin's share of Devon's dividends

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

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