    D. $ 600,000

    Explanation:

    if X's withdrawals = y

    Net Income = 2y

    X 's share of profit = 2y * 60%

    = 1.2 y

    X's Closing capital + X's withdrawals = Opening Capital + Share of Net income

    $ 140000 + y = $ 80000 + 1.2y

    1.2y - y = $ 140000 - $ 80000

    = $60000

    0.20y = $ 60000

    y = $ 300000

    Therefore,

    Net Income = 2y

    = 2*300000

    = $ 600000
