Mr. Lindsey hired the services of a broker to sell his property. He said he bought it at 8,500,000.00 and wants a 30 % gross profit. If you were the broker, how much would you sell the property?

a. 11,500,000
b. 11,050,000
c. 8,500,000
d. none of the above

b. 11,050,000

The formula for calculating the selling price that would give a certain percentage of profit on a purchase price is:

Selling Price = Purchase Price + (Purchase Price x Profit Percentage)

Using the given values, we have:

Selling Price = 8,500,000.00 + (8,500,000.00 x 0.30)
Selling Price = 8,500,000.00 + 2,550,000.00
Selling Price = 11,050,000.00

Therefore, as the broker, you would need to sell the property for 11,050,000.00 to give Mr. Lindsey a 30% gross profit on his purchase price of 8,500,000.00.
