When the nouns of a compound subject or object share or possess the same thing, use just one apostrophe for the last noun of the compound group.
Example: I made a cake for Jane and Mary's party.
When the nouns of a compound subject or object have each their own, then both nouns are possessive.
Example: Jane's and Mary's grades have improved.
