What are the annual operating costs for Tony's rental house if it rents for $1,200 a month?

The annual operating costs for Tony's rental house can be calculated by taking the monthly rental income and multiplying it by 12, as there are 12 months in a year.

If the house rents for $1,200 a month, the calculation would be:

$1,200 (monthly rent) x 12 (months) = $14,400.

However, it seems that the answer chosen reflects just a partial year cost or does not directly correlate to the total operating costs, but rather represents an indication of what might be expected monthly without full context.

To clarify, if $1,800 was determined as an answer, it may have been based on a misunderstanding of the operations costs or considerations that do not reflect straightforward multiplication. The correct calculation should consistently reflect the annual total, which is actually $14,400, or $1,200 per month multiplied by 12 months.
