a. 45000 45000 120000 120000


b. 60000 30000 160000 80000



c. 30000 60000 80000 160000



d. 51000 39000 126000 114000


e. 54000 72000 111000 129000


f. 54000 72000 111000 159000   


note:
plan d= 200000*125=24000 +[90000-(12000+24000)]/2 =24000+27000=51000

driscoe=10000*12%=12000+27000=39000

plan e= 24000+30000=54000

driscoe=12000+6000=72000

plan f=240000-90000=150000*20%=30000

driscoe=129000+30000=159000
