    Answer: Investment income = Earning during 2018 * outstanding common shares

    = $80,000 * 35%

    Dividend declaration = Dividend * outstanding common shares

    = $40,000 * 35%

    Ramsey's share of Vapor's income for 2018 = Investment income - Dividend declaration

    = $28,000 - $14,000

    = $14,000
