Rent per suit = $14,800

Number of suits 9

The monthly rent will be

=$14,800 x 9

= $133,200 x 12

=$1,598,400

Considering a 14 % vacancy rate, expected annual rent collection

=$1, 598,400 minus 14% of $1, 598,400  or 86% of $1, 598,400

= 86/100 x $1, 598,400

=$1,374,624

Adjusting for annual expenses

= $1,374,624 -  $21,100

=$1,353, 524
