How much of the net income of $120,000 is allocated to Xavier?

Answer 1

Answer:

=$59,000.00

Explanation:

Original investments:

Xavier: $50,000.00

Yolanda $ 100,000.00

Allowances:

Xavier: $ 34,000.00

Yolanda : $ 26,000.00

Income at $120,000.00

Xavier allocation will be:

Calculating interest on the original investment

Xavier =20/100x $50,000.00 =$10,000.00

Yolanda=20/100 x$100,000.00 = $20,000.00

Total interest on original investments = $30,000.00

Total allowances = $34,000+$26000=$60,000.00

Shareable income= $120,000.00- ($30,000+$60,000)

      = $30,000

                  each gets $15,000.00

Xavier will get $ 15,000 + $ 10,000 +$ 34,000

=$59,000.00
