The amount to be paid in rent after 2 years if the rent as of now is $3,000 will be; $3,213.675

The question allows that we choose the amount being paid as rent as of now.

Let the rent paid as of now be; $3,000

In essence; after the first year; the amount increases by 3.5% to become;

1.035 × $3,000

= $3,105.

After the second year; we have;

1.035 × $3,105

= $3,213.675

Ultimately; the amount to be paid after 2 years will be; $3,213.675.

When given the opportunity to change rent contracts;

A situation that will be beneficial would be a 3.5% reduction in rent per year
A situation that will not be beneficial would be a 7% increase in rent per year.
