scott invests $60,000.
anne invests $40,000
jane invests $70,000
a) scott and jane each salary of $20,000 out of the profit,
profit is $125,000
Profit = $125,000
salary for Jane & Scot= $40,000
So balance to be distributed = 125,000-40,000=85,000
The ratio of their investments = 6:4:7 ( total 17 parts)
Scott will get 6/17 * 85000 = $ 30,000
..
Anne will get 4/17*85000 = $20,000
..
Jane will get 7/17*85000= $35,000
b) anne suggests that she be paid a salary of $35000 and not share the profits. is anne better off with this suggestion? justify your answer with the calculations
