To determine the management fee on gross rent collection, it is essential to understand how management fees are typically calculated in property management scenarios. Generally, management fees are expressed as a percentage of the gross rental income collected.

If we take the example of a 7.1% management fee, which is common in many property management agreements, we can calculate the fee as follows:

1. Convert the percentage into a decimal format by dividing by 100. For 7.1%, this would be 0.071.

2. Multiply the gross rent collection amount by this decimal. Thus, $222,500 multiplied by 0.071 equals approximately $15,797.50.

3. Rounding this figure gives us about $15,800.

This calculation shows that the management fee on a gross rent collection of $222,500 at a rate of 7.1% would indeed yield a management fee of $15,800, which matches the indicated choice. Therefore, this confirms the accuracy of the fee calculated based on typical industry percentages for property management.
