You need to create a pro forma profit and loss (income) statement for this year, and you need to help him. In this assignment, discuss whether each area in the pro forma income statement will increase, decrease or stay the same due to large businesses moving into the neighboring buildings into his area and explain your rationale why that line item will increase, decrease or stay the same.
