$143,400

Explanation:

Investment balance as on December 31, 2019

Net book value = $468,000

Deuce investment = 25% of $468,000

                               = 0.25 × $468,000

                               = $117,000

Equity net income in 2018 = $96,000

Deuce net income = 15% of $96,000

                               = 0.15 × $96,000

                               = $14,400

Equity net income in 2019 = $120,000

Deuce net income = 10% of $120,000

                               = 0.1 × $120,000

                               = $12,000

Therefore,

Investment balance as on December 31, 2019:

= Deuce investment + Deuce net income in 2018 + Deuce net income in 2019

= $117,000 + $14,400 + $12,000

= $143,400

prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle. eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. so i belive the answer is a : p hope it
