A landlord bought a flat for ₹8,00,000. He wants to earn a 9% annual return on his investment after paying ₹2,000 per month for maintenance. What should be the monthly rent he charges?
Question in Hindi: एक मकान मालिक ने ₹8,00,000 में एक फ्लैट खरीदा। वह रखरखाव के लिए हर महीने ₹2,000 खर्च करने के बाद अपने निवेश पर 9% वार्षिक रिटर्न कमाना चाहता है। उसे हर महीने कितना किराया लेना चाहिए?
Solution / समाधान:
To find the monthly rent the landlord should charge, we first calculate the required annual return on his investment.
- Required annual return: ₹8,00,000 × 9/100 = ₹72,000
- Monthly return needed: ₹72,000 ÷ 12 = ₹6,000
- Add monthly maintenance cost: ₹6,000 + ₹2,000 = ₹8,000
Therefore, the landlord should charge ₹8,000 per month as rent to earn a 9% annual return after covering the maintenance expenses.
Quick Revision / Key Points
- Investment amount = ₹8,00,000
- Desired annual return = 9%
- Maintenance cost = ₹2,000 per month
- Calculate annual return, then monthly return
- Add monthly maintenance cost to monthly return to get required rent
