Answer:

c. $75,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of revenue from investment for 2015 is shown below:-

Investment in Sherman = Purchased shares ÷ Common stock shares

= 25,000 ÷ 100,000

= 25%

Revenue from investment = Net income × Investment in Sherman

= $300,000 × 25%

= $75,000

Therefore for computing the revenue from investment we simply multiplied the net income with investment in Sherman.
