You have not clarified the nature of the investment in contracting to determine how its is calculated. However, you must enumerate your capital and profits to determine the Zakat due from you. As for your assistance to your mother-in-law in purchasing the apartment, if you paid the money with the intention of Zakat and your mother-in-law is one of its eligible recipients, then it is permissible. Otherwise, it is not sufficient.
