Parsa Real Estate Parsa Real Estate is a company that buys and rents real estate. The company is looking into buying an office building for $1M. The building has 10,000 square feet of rentable office space.

The company analysts predict that they can rent the office space for $6 per square foot per month, but demand is a function of price in the following way: % Occupied = 2 - 0.2*Rent (Rent is in dollars per square foot per month. Also, at $6.00, Oscar thinks he can fill about 80% of the office space.) The building needs to be maintained (security, insurance, maintenance, etc.), which costs $10,000 per month regardless of occupancy. Also, there is a variable cost of $2 per month for each square foot occupied. Define the return on invested capital as the ratio of the profits (PER YEAR) and the invested capital.
