$240,000

Explanation:

Let the net income be Y

Accounts payable decreased $21,000 - This will be subtracted from the net profit as a reduction in liability

Prepaid assets increased $15,000 - This will be subtracted from the net profit as an increase in assets

Depreciation expense was $27,000  - This will be added back to net profit as a non cash item

Accounts receivable decreased $21,000 - This will be add from the net profit as a reduction in assets

Loss on sale of a depreciable asset was $16,000 - This will be added back to net profit as a non cash item

Wages payable increased $10,000 - This will be added from the net profit as an increase in liability

Unearned revenue decreased $16,000 - This will be subtracted from the net profit as a reduction in liability

Patent amortization expense was $10,000 - This will be added back to net profit as a non cash item

As such

Y - 21000 - 15000 + 27000 + 21000 + 16000 +10000 - 16000 + 10000 = 272000

Y = 272000  + 21000 + 15000 - 27000 - 21000 - 16000 - 10000 + 16000 - 10000

Y = $240,000
