Explanation / Answer
Working note:
Calculation of interest:
Xavier = $75,000*15/100 = $11,250
Zahn = $75,000*9/100 = $6,750
Bonus calculation:
=($175,000 - $100,000)*10/100
= $7,500
Profit distribution:
$175,000 - $11,250
= $163,750
Each will bedistributed eaqually so $163,750/3 = $54,583 each two and one will get $54,583 to get $1 dollar.
