    Answer: the correct answer is $1,724,000

    Explanation: $560,000 x 0.40 = 224,000 (net income times percentage of Harrison's voting common stock)

    $2 / share x 50,000 = (100,000) (the company paid 2$ dollars per share and there are 50000 shares)

    1.6 million + 224,000 - 100,000 = $1,724,000
