Answer 1

The company receives $595,333.333.

The plumber receives $297,666.667.

Each the electrician and the auxiliary workers receive $446,500.

Explanation:

The total amount is $1,786,000.

Company:

The company receives
`(4)/(4 + 2 + 3 + 3) = (4)/(12) = (1)/(3)` of the total amount. So

`(1*1786000)/(3) = 595333.333`

The company receives $595,333.333.

Plumber:

`(2)/(4 + 2 + 3 + 3) = (2)/(12) = (1)/(6)` of the total amount. So

`(1*1786000)/(6) = 297666.667`

The plumber receives $297,666.667.

Electrician and the auxiliary workers:

Each receives
`(3)/(4 + 2 + 3 + 3) = (3)/(12) = (1)/(4)` of the total amount. So

`(1*1786000)/(4) = 446500`

Each the electrician and the auxiliary workers receive $446,500.
