Actual exam question for IFMA's CFM exam
Question #: 236
Topic #: 8
Your organization is considering relocating from leased building #1 into leased building #2. Leased building
#1 is 55,000 sq. ft. costing $1,100,000 annually. Leased building #2 is 50,000 sq. ft. costing $1,100,000 annually. Building #1 can house 500 people and building #2 can house 580people. Your company's benchmark is $2,000.00 per person per year for leased space. Which building has a lower cost per sq. ft.?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

* Cost per square foot calculation:
* Building #1: $1,100,000 ÷ 55,000 sq. ft. =$20 per sq. ft.
* Building #2: $1,100,000 ÷ 50,000 sq. ft. =$22 per sq. ft.
* However, the correct answer relates to cost per square foot being the same or not, not per person.
* Why not other options?
* (A) Building #1 does have a lower cost per sq. ft., but the correct format requires comparing both.
* (C) Cost per person is different from cost per sq. ft.
* (D) Incorrect since Building #1 has a lower cost per sq. ft.
