Period Earnings

Group's Joint Accounts

Group Earnings = ( income from Group's Joint Account [= Your Individual Share] )
Which is the same as
= ( 0.5 x sum of all investments to the Group's Joint Account )

Personal Account

The points you place in your Personal Account will be directly added to your earnings. (For Example, if you place 5 points in your Personal Account then you will earn 5 points from your Personal Account.)

Your Personal Account (in one period) is determined as follows:

Personal Account = ( 20 ) - ( your investment to your Group's Joint Account )

Total Earnings

Total Earnings (in one period) = ( Personal Account ) + (Individual Share )

Which is the same as
= ( 20 ) - ( your investment to your Group's Joint Account )
+ ( 0.5 x sum of all investments to the Group's Joint Account )
