Property State       Beginning             Ending

Alabama                $ 123,044          $ 204,241

Kentucky               $ 203,317           $ 185,108

Mississippi            $ 881,932       $ 1,002,396

Louisiana             $ 243,951           $ 350,310

Tennessee          $ 143,204           $ 143,204

Total                 $ 1,595,448        $ 1,885,259

b) Calculations:

Mississippi

Beginning Property value = $ 881,932    

Ending Property value =   $ 1,002,396

Average annual property value = $942,164 ($ 881,932 + $ 1,002,396)/2

Rent in Mississippi =  $56,000
