a.

$195,500

b.

$227,200

    First solve the future worth of the apartment

    F = p (1 + i) ^n

    F = 340000 (1 + 0.018) ^5

    F = 371721.61

    Gain from rent

    R = (525 / month room) (12 room) (12 month / year) (5 yrs)

    R = 378000

    Cost for building upkeep

    C = 36500/year (5years)

    C = 182500

    Profit = 371721.61 + 378000 - 340000 - 182500

    Profit = $ 227221.61

    so the answer is B
