Answer: 21%

Explanation: The developer purchased 3 properties and he can buy each property for $20 per square foot.

Therefore: 75 × 110 =8250 square feet.

8250 × $20 = $165 000 per lot.

Each lot was sold for $200 000. Which means the developer made profits of:

$200 000 - $165 000 = $35 000 per lot.

The percentage of profit on each lot is:

Percentage of profit on cost amount:

= \frac{35 000}{165 000}

= 0.2121212 recurring × 100

= 21,21%

Percentage of profit on sale amount:

= \frac{35000}{200000}

= 0.175 × 100

= 17,5%

Similarly, when the price of the commodity falls, producers will supply less of the commodity since the commodity will be less profitable.
