Question

A tenant occupying 20,000 square feet in your building has two years remaining on their lease. You have a good relationship with this tenant and you assess the probability that they will renew their lease at 75%. If your tenant renews the lease, they will pay $15/sf in rent. If the tenant vacates, you expect that a new tenant will pay $18/sf. What is the gross rental income you expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires

Answer 1

Answer: $315000

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, the gross rental income that one will expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires goes thus:

= [(75% x 15) + (25% x 18)] x 20,000

= [(0.75 × 15) + (0.25 × 18)] × 20000

= (11.25 + 4.5) × 20000

= 15.75 × 20000

= 315,000

Therefore, the gross rental income is $315000
