Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Dawn's capital account balance is $225,000, which is 25% of the total partnership capital ($900,000). Since she gets 50% of the income, her share of the income for the year must have been $225,000 (her capital account balance) x 50% = $112,500.
Garret's share of the income for the year would be $900,000 x 40% = $360,000.
Josh's share of the income for the year would be $900,000 x 10% = $90,000.
Since the total income for the year is ($112,500 + $360,000 + $90,000) = $562,500, Garret's share of the income after Dawn's withdrawal would be $360,000/$562,500 x ($900,000 - $195,000) = $474,000.
Josh's share of the income after Dawn's withdrawal would be $90,000/$562,500 x ($900,000 - $195,000) = $111,000.
Therefore, Garret's capital account balance after Dawn's withdrawal would be $450,000 + $474,000 = $924,000, and Josh's capital account balance after Dawn's withdrawal would be $105,000 + $111,000 = $216,000.
