Answer: A. $53,300,000

Explanation:

Year 2019 balance for Investment

= Cash + Net income - amortization

Net income = Beginning retained earnings 2020 - Beginning retained earnings 2019

= 11 - 8

= 3 million

Balance 2019 = 50 + 3 - 1

= $52 million

Year 2020 balance

= Opening balance + Net income - amortization

= 52 + 1.8 - 0.5

= $53.3 million

= $53,300,000
