Property Management

AA fixed amount set by the landlord
BThe sales level at which base rent equals the percentage of gross sales (Base Rent ÷ Percentage Rate)✓ Correct
CThe point at which the tenant becomes profitable
DA percentage of the national average sales for the business type

Explanation

The natural breakpoint = Base Rent ÷ Overage Percentage. For example, if base rent is $50,000 and the percentage is 5%, the natural breakpoint is $1,000,000. Above that, the tenant pays 5% of sales.
