Find the share of Sehwag, if at the end of 2018, the total profit earned by them is $2,75,000? Correct Answer $97307
GIVEN :
Dravid started his business with a capital of $20,000 in 2016 and he invested additional 20% of his initial capital in 2017
Sehwag joined him with a capital of $20,000. In 2018 both has invested an additional amount of 30% of their initial capital
Ganguly joined them with a capital of $10,000.
Total profit earned by them is $2,75,000
FORMULA USED :
Profit = Investment x Time
CALCULATION :
Dravid’s capital = 20000 × 12 + 20000 × 1.20 × 12 + (24000 + 6000) × 12
Sehwag’s capital = 20000 × 12 + 26000 × 12
Ganguly’s capital = 10000 × 12
Dravid ∶ Sehwag ∶ Ganguly = (240 + 288 + 360) ∶ (240 + 312) ∶ 120
= 888 ∶ 552 ∶ 120 = 37 ∶ 23 ∶ 5
∴ Sehwag’s share = 23/65 × 275000 = $97307.69 ≈ $97307
