Sheffield Realty Corporation

Sales Revenue : Group 1 (3 * $4,500) $13,500

Group 2 (9*6,000) 54,000

Group 3 (15*3,600) 54,000

283,500

Cost of Lot sold (123,697)

Gross Profit 159,803

Operating Expenses (18,000)

Net Income 141,803

Workings

1. Total cost of building = cost of land + additional cost

= $115,500 + $72,336

= $187,836

2. Total Number of lots available for sales = 8 + 16 + 17 = 41

3. Number of lot sold = (8-5) + (16 - 7) + (17-2) = 27

4. cost per Lot = $187,836 / 41 = $4,581.37

5. cost of lot sold = $4,581.37 * 27 = $123,696.88

$123,697
