9000 8000 8500 9500 |
9000 |
Since all three partners invested for the same period, the profit is divided in the ratio of their investments. Investment ratio: $35000 : 25000 : 10000 = 7 : 5 : 2$ Total ratio: $7 + 5 + 2 = 14$ A's share of the profit: $\frac{7}{14} \times 18000 = \frac{1}{2} \times 18000 = 9000$ |
