Question

Larsen Realty Corporation purchased a tract of unimproved land for $59,000. This land was improved and subdivided into building lots at an additional cost of $31,000. These building lots were all of the same size but owing to differences in location were offered for sale at different prices as follows.

Group No. of Lots Price per Lot
1 9 $4,568
2 15 6,090
3 19 3,045


Operating expenses for the year allocated to this project total $27,710. Lots unsold at the year-end were as follows.

Group 1 5 lots
Group 2 7 lots
Group 3 2 lots


At the end of the fiscal year Larsen Realty Corporation instructs you to arrive at the net income realized on this operation to date. (When computing costs to determine net income, do not round the percentages for relative sales price. Round all other computations and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15,210.)
