3) How much it costs (per week) to run each type of room on offer for the year 2018-19 (including shared incurring costs from the rest of a flat that room is a part of). How much it costs (per week) to run each type of flat as a whole for the year 2018-19 (including detailed costs for services, internet, electricity, heating and water).

Please provide all of the above for Parker House accommodation as well.

4) How much, in total, the university is projected to receive from student tenants in the year 2018-19, how much of that will go back into accommodation and accommodation services, as well as how much goes to accommodation from other sources of University income, and what those sources are. Please provide the same information for Parker House accommodation.

5) What the relationship between Abertay University and IQ Accommodations exactly is and which organisation sets the rent prices in that relationship.
