29,495.24 persons per sq. Km. In 2009 and P15,330 transport cost per capita per

39. Neo-classical Urban Bid-Rent Theory provides the formula for Location Rent at
center of city as equal to ‘ Rent Gradients’ times ‘Radius’ where Rent Gradient is equal
to ‘transport cost per capita per year’ multiplied by ‘density per sq.km.’. If Pateros has a
radius distance of 10.266km from the center of Metro Manila, with average density of
29,495.24 persons per sq. Km. In 2009 and P15,330 transport cost per capita per
year, what should be the location rent per square meter in Pateros as periphery-town of

B. Around P464.10 per sq.m.
C. Around P46,410 per sq.m.
D. P4,641 per sq.m.
Note: Location Rent = Rent Gradient x Radius
Rent Gradient = transport cost per capita per year x density per sq.km.
