Answer:
I would like to lease spaces to the following businesses:
Square Feet Expected Monthly
S-Mart 12,000 $180,000
WalVerde Drugs 6,000 147,000
Videos Now 4,000 70,000
They have the highest monthly expected cash flows to be able to pay the monthly rent. Another reason is that the variable part of the rent depends on each business's monthly gross sales. The higher the gross sales, the higher the rent. They also require the highest square space on which the fixed element of the rent depends.
