    A. $80,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the gates investment is shown below:

    = Net income * total percentage

    where,

    Net income = $200,000

    And, the total percentage = Acquiring percentage + additional percentage

    = 15% + 25%

    = 40%

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $200,000 * 40%

    = $80,000

    The dividend part should not impact the investment. So, we do not consider it
