    The economic rent will be $8,000

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the economic rent renting to 1 tenant is as:

    Economic rent = Marginal Product - Opportunity Cost

    where

    Marginal cost would be for two years $24,000 * 2

    = $48,000

    Opportunity cost would be renting to 2 tenant per year

    = $10,000 * 2 year * 2 person

    = $40,000

    Putting the values above:

    = $48,000 - $40,000

    = $8,000
