Question 8: four individuals pool money together to start a new business and agree to split the profits equally. N invests $6,000, X invests $2,000, Y invests $8,000 and Z invests $4,000. If the profits for the first month were $100,000, Y receives ______ less than if the profits were divided in proportion to how much they invested
Answer:
15,000
Y invests $8,000 out of the total ($6,000 + $2,000 + $8,000 + $4,000 = $20,000). 8,000/20,000 = 8/20 = 4/10 (half both numbers) So Y was responsible for 40% of the investment, If the payout of profits was proportional to the amount
invested. Y would get 40% of the profit.40% of $100,000 = 0.4 x 100,000 = $40,000 If equally: If they split the profits equally, then they would split it 4 ways since there are 4 investors.
$100,000/4 = 25,000
The difference if we take the difference, the investor loses $40,000 = $25,000 = $15,000 Question 9: Mother's darlings make but milksop heroes. As a twig is bent so is the tree inclined.
