    A business purchased goods on credit for $10,000; half the goods purchased were sold for cash at a mark-up of 120%. Sales commission of 5% was payable on this transaction. All takings were banked. What was the net profit arising as a result of entering into these transactions?
    Answer in the Book: $700.
    I do not agree with the answer in the book. My answer is $5,450. Please kindly confirm this sir.

    The correct answer is indeed $5,450.

    They obviously have mistyped and meant to have the mark-up as 20%, in which case $700 would have been the correct answer.
