Short Answer

Exhibit 8.2
The following questions pertain to the problem and spreadsheet below.
A construction company just purchased a 300 × 300 foot lot upon which they plan to build an office building. They need at least 60,000 ft² of office floor space. Zoning regulations require each floor be 10 feet high and the building not exceed 65 ft in height. Further, parking space must equal at least 30% of the total floor space available.
