Let x = money market, y = bond fund, a = international stock fund, and b = domestic stock fund. We are given:

1. Total investment:  
  x + y + a + b = 110,000  
  Given x = 37,400.

2. 60% in conservative investments (money market and bonds):  
  x + y = 0.6 × 110,000 = 66,000  
  So, y = 66,000 – 37,400 = 28,600.

3. International stocks equal one-fourth of domestic stocks:  
  a = b/4.

4. Annual returns requirement:  
  0.025x + 0.035y + 0.04a + 0.06b = 4,400.

Substitute x and y into the return equation:  
  0.025(37,400) + 0.035(28,600) + 0.04a + 0.06b = 4,400  
  Compute the conservative returns:  
   0.025 × 37,400 = 935  
   0.035 × 28,600 = 1,001  
  So, conservative returns = 935 + 1,001 = 1,936.  
Subtracting from 4,400 gives the required return from the stock funds:  
  4,400 – 1,936 = 2,464.

Now, from the total investment we know the stocks amount:  
  a + b = 110,000 – 66,000 = 44,000  
Substitute a = b/4:  
  (b/4) + b = 44,000  
  (5b/4) = 44,000  
  b = (44,000 × 4)/5 = 35,200  
  Thus, a = 35,200/4 = 8,800.

Confirm the returns from stocks:  
  International: 0.04 × 8,800 = 352  
  Domestic: 0.06 × 35,200 = 2,112  
  Total: 352 + 2,112 = 2,464, which matches the remaining return needed.

So the investor should put:
  Money market: 37,400  
  Bond fund: 28,600  
  International stock fund: 8,800  
  Domestic stock fund: 35,200

Since the problem asks: "The investor should put $37400 in the money market account. The investor should put $______ in the bond fund."  
The answer for the bond fund is: 28,600.
The investor should put $28,600 in the bond fund.
