Answer:

The correct answer is $62,500.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Apple Capital = $125,000

Bere Capital = $75,000

Carroll Capital = $50,000

So, the total capital = $125,000 + $75,000 + $50,000 = $250,000

So, we can calculate the Dorr invest amount by using following formula:

Dorr invest amount = Present capital - Initial total Capital

Where, Present Capital = $250,000 ÷ ( 100% - 80%) = $312,500

By putting the value, we get

Dorr invest amount = $312,500 - $250,000

= $62,500.
