BUSI401 CHAPTER 8.2

Question 1

The Floor R/U ratio is calculated as _ _ _

Answer 1

The Floor R/U ratio is calculated as the Floor Rentable Area divided by the Floor Usable Area:

Floor R/U Ratio = Floor Rentable Area /
Floor Usable Area

Question 2

Floor Rentable Area = . . . .

Answer 2

Floor Rentable Area = Gross Measured Area — Major Vertical Penetrations

Question 3

Floor Usable Area = . . . .

Answer 3

Floor Usable Area = Usable Area of Offices + Usable Area of Stores + Building Common Area

Question 4

NOTE ONLY

Basic Rentable Area

Once the Floor R/U Ratio has been calculated, it is then applied to each of the Usable Areas as a means of allocating back (or “grossing-up”) the various Floor Common Areas. The resulting figures are called “Basic Rentable Areas”.

Basic Rentable Area = Floor R/U Ratio x Usable Area

Answer 4

Basic Rentable Area

Once the Floor R/U Ratio has been calculated, it is then applied to each of the Usable Areas as a means of allocating back (or “grossing-up”) the various Floor Common Areas. The resulting figures are called “Basic Rentable Areas”.

Basic Rentable Area = Floor R/U Ratio x Usable Area

Question 5

NOTE ONLY

Floor R/U Ratio accounts for gross-up of leased space to factor in Floor Common Areas. However, it is only an interim step in BOMA 1996 — we still need to consider Building Common Areas or the space in the building that is used by all tenants.

Question 6

EXPLAIN BUILDING R/U

Answer 6

The Building R/U Ratio performs the same function as floor R/U, but for Building Common Areas; these are areas that service the entire building.

The Building R/U Ratio is not calculated separately for each floor, as was the case for the Floor R/U Ratio.

The Building R/U Ratio is calculated once and applies to every floor in the building.

Question 7

Total Building Rentable Area

Building R/U Ratio =

Total Building Rentable Area
______________________________

• *Total Building Rentable Area
• Basic Rentable Area of Building Common Area**

Answer 7

Total Building Rentable Area

Building R/U Ratio =

Total Building Rentable Area

_________________________

Total Building Rentable Area

- Basic Rentable Area of Building Common Area

Question 13

Basic Rentable Area = . . . . .

Answer 13

Basic Rentable Area = Floor R/U Ratio x Usable Area

Question 17

_ _ _ _ _ is a factor that proportionately allocates the Floor Common Areas on each floor.

Answer 17

Floor R/U Ratio is a factor that proportionately allocates the Floor Common Areas on each floor.
