- An investor allocates $75,000 across 3 startups. She puts 40% in Startup A, 35% in B, and the rest in C. If Startup C fails, and A returns 8× and B returns 3×, what is her total return?
- Investment per startup:
- B: 35% of $75,000 = $26,250 → returns 3× → $26,250 × 3 = $78,750
- C: remaining 25% = $18,750 → returns 0
- Total return: $240,000 + $78,750 = $318,750
