1 answer

To calculate the cost per lease for each advertising source, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Determine the total advertising costs for each source.
  2. Identify the number of leases generated from each source.
  3. Calculate the cost per lease for each source.

1. Total Advertising Costs

  • Apartment Guide (print ad): $900/month
  • Apartment.com (website ad): $224/month

2. Leases from Each Source

  • Apartment Guide: 3 leases
  • Apartment.com: 2 leases

3. Cost Per Lease Calculations

Apartment Guide:

  • Total Cost: $900
  • Leases: 3
  • Cost per Lease: \( \frac{900}{3} = 300 \) dollars per lease

Apartment.com:

  • Total Cost: $224
  • Leases: 2
  • Cost per Lease: \( \frac{224}{2} = 112 \) dollars per lease

Summary of Cost Per Lease

  • Apartment Guide: $300 per lease
  • Apartment.com: $112 per lease

These calculations show that the advertising expense for each lease from Apartment Guide is significantly higher than that from Apartment.com.
