Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Owner's equity on December 31, 2016, can be calculated by starting with the Owner's Capital at the beginning of the year, adding the net income (Revenues - Expenses), and subtracting the Owner's Drawings. This gives: $140,000 + ($340,000 - $240,000) - $20,000 = $220,000.
