Based on the chart, for the community with a total unit capacity of 260 units, how many additional occupied units would the sales counselor need to achieve a year-to-date goal of positive 7 net gain?

A. 6
B. 7



Answer :

To determine how many additional occupied units are needed to achieve a year-to-date goal of a positive 7 net gain for the community with a total unit capacity of 260 units, we follow these steps:

1. Identify Current Net Gain:
The current net gain for the community with 260 units is [tex]\( -1.0 \)[/tex], as shown in the table.

2. Identify Target Net Gain:
The target net gain is [tex]\( 7.0 \)[/tex].

3. Determine the Increase Needed in Net Gain:
We need to increase the net gain from [tex]\( -1.0 \)[/tex] to [tex]\( 7.0 \)[/tex]. The total increase required is:
[tex]\[ 7.0 - (-1.0) = 7.0 + 1.0 = 8.0 \][/tex]

4. Convert Net Gain to Additional Occupied Units:
To achieve a net gain increase of [tex]\( 8.0 \)[/tex], the sales counselor would need to occupy additional units equivalent to the required increase in net gain.

Hence, the sales counselor needs to occupy 8 additional units to achieve a year-to-date goal of a positive 7 net gain.

Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the provided options, which are 6 and 7. The actual number of additional units needed is 8.
