    It may well be the same question, but those posts were in 2013.

    In 2013 I did have the Kaplan text, but I certainly do not have it now and so I have no idea at all about the question! Sorry.

    Mark-up is the profit as a % of cost.
    For every 100 cost, the profit is 150, and therefore the revenue is 250.

    Therefore for every 250 revenue the cost is 100, so in total 100/250 x revenue.

    There is no such thing as ‘year 0’. Time 0 is a point in time and is the start of the first year. The taxable profit is calculated at the end of the year and if you look at the tax workings, the rent is subtracted in arriving at the taxable profit at time 1. Since it is actually a loss, the loss is carried forward and subtracted from the profit at time 2.
