    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
