Answer:

$16,438

Explanation:

If we assume that Bobby and Alice owned 50% of Prairie Dirt Delight each, then the loss will be divided in two.

Since Bobby sold his part to his son on the 200th day, then the portion of the loss that will be allocated to him will be = ($60,000 x 50%) x 200/365 = $16,438.36 ≈ $16,438
