Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The net income can be calculated by adjusting the ending capital for the owner's withdrawals and comparing it to the beginning capital. The formula is: Ending Capital + Withdrawals - Beginning Capital = Net Income. So, $93,000 + $19,000 - $170,000 = $58,000 net income.
