Profit = The amount Lisa paid - The amount Lisa earned = Sailing price - Broker's commission - Purchase price - Closing cost = $82,000 - 10% of $82,000 - $70,000 - 2% of $70,000 = $(82,000 - 8,200 - 70,000 - 1,400) = $2400

The correct answer is B.

Lisa's profit is the following:

0.9 x 82,000 - 70,000 x 1.02 = 73,800 - 71,400 = $2,400
