Calculations for Practice Test #1
Calculator Keystrokes for #6:
Set payment schedule to 1 (press 1, then f PMT)
N = 6, I = 10, PV = 25000, PMT = 0 → solve for FV
Calculations for # 7
N = 300, I = 0.8, PV = 4 million, FV = 0 → solve for PMT
Multiply the monthly PMT by 12 to get the annual PMT
Divide NOI by Annual PMT to get the Debt Coverage ratio

Taxable income = NOI + CAPEX - Depreciation - Interest Expense - amortized financing
costs
Taxable income = $3.25 million - $100,000 - $24,000 - $65,000 - $3000 = $977,400
Tax liability = taxable income(ordinary tax rate)
Tax liability = $977,400(26%) = $847,080
Calculations for # 9
Taxes due on sale = capital gains tax payment + depreciation recapture tax payment
Capital gains tax payment = capital gain(capital gains tax rate) Capital gains tax payment = ($1.8 million)(15%) = $270,000
Depreciation recapture tax payment = Accumulated Depreciation(Depreciation Recapture tax rate)
Depreciation recapture tax payment = ($450,000)*(25%) = $112,500
Taxes due on sale = $270,000 + $112,500 = $382,500
Calculation for #15: 200,000 - 30,000 - 5,000 = 165,000
165,000 + 50,000 = 215,000
Calculation for #16
9(-0.001) = -0.009
Adjusted price of comparable = (1 - 0.009)(620000) = $614,420
Calculation for #19
First, find the monthly payment
PV = $1,500,000, FV = $0, I = 5/12, N = 30*12 → solve for PMT
PMT = $8,052.3

Now, use the monthly payment to get the remaining balance in year ten. Note that 20 years of payments are still left
FV = $0, I = 5/12, N = 20*12, PMT = $8,052.3 → solve for PV
PV = $1,220,127
Explanation for #20
The future value of an annuity due is greater than an ordinary annuity, given that the payments are received earlier on an annuity due Calculation for #24
Acquisition price = NOI/cap rate
Acquisition price = 835,000/0.08 = $10,437,500
Calculation for #25
First, find annual PGI
Monthly PGI = 25(2000) = 50,000
Annual PGI = (50,000)(12) = $600,000
Next, find VCL and use it to get EGI
VCL = (7%)(600,000) = $42,000
EGI = PGI - VCL
EGI = 600,000 - 42,000 = $558,000
Then, find OPEX and CAPEX
OPEX = (6%)(558,000) = $33,480
CAPEX = (2%)(558,000) = $11,160
Now, find NOI
NOI = EGI - OPEX - CAPEX
NOI = $558,000 - $33,480 - $11,160 = $513,360

Divide NOI by acquisition price to get the cap rate
Cap rate = 513,360/2,275,000 = 22.57%
Explanation for #28
Accumulated Depreciation is subtracted in the equation to find the adjusted basis. So when depreciation is underestimated, the adjusted basis will be higher (all else equal)
Calculation for #33:
22560/285000 = 7.9%
Calculation for #39:
Expenditures after purchase: 450700 + 3000 = 453700
Market conditions: 453700(1 + 0.005(3)) = 460505.5
Location: 460505.5(1 + 0.03) = 474320.665
Physical characteristics: 474320.665(1 - 0.05) = 450604.63
Non Realty items: 450604.63 - 5000 = 445604.63
Calculations for #40: Loan amount = 400,000(0.965) = $386,000
Upfront Mortgage insurance premium = (386,000)(0.0175) = $6,755
Total loan amount = 386,000 + 6,755 = $392,755
The upfront mortgage insurance premium is always 1.75% of your loan amount
The total loan amount you receive includes this upfront premium
Calculations for #41:
N = 30*12, I = 5.5/12, PV = 392,755, FV = 0 → solve for PMT
PMT = $2,230

Calculations for #44: First compare the monthly payments and calculate monthly interest savings
Old mortgage: N = 360, I = 7/12, PV = 300,000, FV = 0 → solve for PMT PMT = 1996
New mortgage: N = 360, I = 3/12, PV = 300,000, FV = 0 → solve for PMT PMT = 1265
Interest savings (monthly) = 1996-1265 = 731
Interest savings after a year = 731(12) = 8,772
Cost to refinance = 0.05(300,000) = 6,000
Net benefit = 8772 - 6000 = 2772

1.) Present Value of a Lump Sum
●
You’re given FV, N, I, and PMT (the PMT is zero in this case)
●
Enter these four values into the financial calculator, and then find the PV
2.) Present Value of an Annuity
●
You’re given N, I, PMT, and FV (the FV is zero)
●
Enter these four values into the financial calculator, and then find the PV
3.) Find the PV of constant cash flows
●
You’re given N, I, PMT, and FV

Once the cash flows and I are all entered, solve for NPV
5.) Finding the IRR on an annuity
●
You’re given N, PV, PMT, and FV (the FV is zero)
●
Enter these four values into the financial calculator, and then find I
6.) Finding the IRR from uneven cash flows

7.) Finding the NOI from a property investment
●
First, find the annual PGI
○
PGI = (the number of rental units)(monthly rent per unit)(12)
●
Next, find the EGI
○
EGI = PGI - VCL
○
VCL may be stated as a percentage of PGI. In this case, find the VCL in dollar terms, and then subtract it from PGI
●
Then, find OPEX and CAPEX
○
OPEX and CAPEX may be stated as a percentage of EGI. In this case, find the OPEX and CAPEX in dollar terms, and then subtract them from EGI
●
Now, find NOI
○
NOI = EGI - OPEX - CAPEX

●
This value, from the perspective of a lender, is how much money you should lend to a borrower
●
You’re given N, I, PMT, and FV (the FV is zero)
●
Enter these four values into the financial calculator, and then find the PV
9.) Find the monthly required payment on a loan
●
You’re given N, I, PV, and FV (the FV is zero)
●
Enter these four values into the financial calculator, and then find the PMT
10.)
Find the remaining balance on a loan
●
You’re given N, I, PMT, and FV (the FV is zero)
○
In this case, N is the number of years remaining on the loan
●
Enter these four values into the financial calculator, and then find the PV
11.)
Find the lender’s yield
●
First, find the PV of the loan amount ●
You’re given N, I, PMT, and FV (the FV is zero)
●
Enter these four values into the financial calculator, and then find the PV
●
Subtract the PV of the loan by the dollar amount of discount points that are
paid on the loan
●
Now, use N, PMT, the adjusted PV, and FV to find I → this gives you the lender’s yield
12.)
Find the Effective Borrowing Cost
●
First, find the PV of the loan amount ●
You’re given N, I, PMT, and FV (the FV is zero)
●
Enter these four values into the financial calculator, and then find the PV
●
Subtract the PV of the loan by the dollar amount of closing costs that are paid on the loan
○
The closing costs usually includes discount points paid on the loan, as well as other closing costs not paid to the lender
●
Now, use N, PMT, the adjusted PV, and FV to find I → this gives you the effective borrowing cost

You’re given N, I, PMT, and FV (the FV is zero)
○
Use the monthly payment you just found
○
N is the number of months remaining on the loan
●
Solve for PV to get the remaining balance
●
For the next year, use the new interest rate to get the new PMT, and make
sure your PV is the remaining loan balance at the end of the last year
14.)
Calculate the balloon payment on the commercial mortgage loan
●
First, find the monthly payment in year 1
●
You’re given N, I, PV, and FV (the FV is zero) → solve for PMT
●
Next, find the remaining balance (the balloon payment) you will have to pay after a certain number of years ●
You’re given N, I, PMT, and FV (the FV is zero) → solve for PV
○
In this case, N is (amortization term - the loan term)
15.)
Find the payback period from refinancing a mortgage
●
Find the monthly payment savings from refinancing the loan (old loan payment - new loan payment)
●
Divide the the cost of refinancing by the monthly payment savings ●
This gives you the payback period
16.)
