    D) 11.75%

    Explanation:

    The overall capitalization rate is calculated by dividing net income by the fair market value of the asset.

    net income = effective gross income - operating expenses

    effective gross income = potential gross income - vacancy and collection losses = $350,000 - ($350,000 x 7%) = $325,500

    net income = $325,500 - ($325,500 x 35%) = $211,575

    capitalization rate = $211,575 / $180,000 = 11.75%
