Answer:

a. $20,000

b. -$2,950

c. -29.50%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Gross Profit is

= Sale value of Property - Invested amount - Mortgage amount

= $120,000 - $10,000 - $90,000

= $20,000

b. Net Profit

= Gross profit - number of years × mortgage amount × rate of interest

= $20,000 - 3 × $90,000 × 8.5%

= -$2,950

And,

c) Rate of return  is

= Net profit ÷ invested amount

= -$2,950 ÷ $10,000

= -29.50%
