Answer and Explanation:

Here is the breakdown:

1. For the contribution to Mother Nature

This corresponds to sales amounting to $2,750

2. Regarding Tlaloc's value-added

It equates to

= $7,750 - $2,750

= $5,000

3. For Bob’s value added

It corresponds to

= $20,000 - $7,750

= $12,250

This process applies equally to all three.
