0.08 or 8%

Explanation:

By applying following steps:

Gross Rent 50000 - vacancy

50000 - (5%*50000) = 47500

= (Maint USD 1000/mo*12) 12000 + (Property Tax) + Insurance + (Res acct 200*12) 2400

= 12000 + 3500 + 2500 + 2400

= USD 20400

So,

47500 - 20400=27100 R

By below derivation we get:

I/VR

=27100/338750

=0.08 or 8%
