The latest Index of “Property Market Statistic Private Flatted Factories - Average Rents and Prices - New Territories” announced by Government is = 90

 

   

The latest Index of “Consumer Price Index (B)” announced by Government is = 130

 

   

Market Increase will be (90-67)/67*50% +(130-109.1)/109.1*50% = 26.74%

 

   

In the scenario, the new monthly charge per Usable Floor Area is $178*(1+20%) = HKD$213.6 per Usable Floor Area

Scenario 2:

 

   

The latest Index of “Property Market Statistic Private Flatted Factories - Average Rents and Prices - New Territories” announced by Government is = 80

 

   

The latest Index of “Consumer Price Index (B)” announced by Government is = 120
