Explanation / Answer

Cash flow per square feet
70000/4000=17.5
52500/3500=15
52500/2500=21
25500/1500=17
28500/1500=19
180000/12000=15
147000/6000=24.5
22250/1000=22.25

Hence, we will lease to walverde for 6000 square feet, multigular for 1000 square feet, pizza for 2500 sqaure feet,301/2 for 1500 square feet, videos for 4000 square feet..Unused space is 1000 square feet
