    Answer: $920,000

    Explanation:

    Given the following:

    Beginning balance = $800,000

    Brown's earning = $600,000

    Casg Dividend = $200,000

    Dexter's portion of brown's outstanding shares = 3000 / 10000 = 0.3

    Therefore, Dexter's investment account is as follows:

    Beginning balance + (earning * 0.3) - (Dividend * 0.3)

    $800,000 + ($600,000 * 0.3) - ($200,000 * 0.3)

    $800,000 + $180,000 - $60,000

    $980000 - $60000 = 920000
