A commercial property's annual schedule of potential gross income from rents is $480,000. Market vacancy and collection losses are estimated at 8%. The property also generates $15,000 annually from cell tower leases and vending machines. What is the property's effective gross income?
Correct Answer
B) $456,600
Effective Gross Income (EGI) is Potential Gross Income (PGI) minus vacancy and collection loss, plus other income. Here, vacancy and collection loss is $480,000 * 0.08 = $38,400. EGI from rents is $480,000 - $38,400 = $441,600. Adding other income of $15,000 gives a total EGI of $441,600 + $15,000 = $456,600.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Effective Gross Income (EGI) is Potential Gross Income (PGI) minus vacancy and collection loss, plus other income. Here, vacancy and collection loss is $480,000 * 0.08 = $38,400. EGI from rents is $480,000 - $38,400 = $441,600. Adding other income of $15,000 gives a total EGI of $441,600 + $15,000 = $456,600.
