About what percent of civil lawsuits are decided in court (nearest half percent)? You bought your house in 2001 for $400,000. Zillow currently lists its value at $475,000. A similar house would cost $550,000 to build new from the ground up today. The declared value in Section I of your HO-3 policy has stayed the same at $400,000 for the past 20 years. You replaced the roof with 40-year shingles in 2011. A large tree branch falls on your roof in a windstorm, causing $22,000 damage. How much will you be reimbursed by your insurer?

Your uncle passed away and left you $10 million with the stipulation that it be invested in real estate in the next 90 days. As word of your newfound wealth leaked into the real estate brokerage community, a line of brokers formed outside your door.“You should buy this office building” said the first broker, Ira Our. “At $20 million you’ll have to borrow money to buy it, but I know an Office Building REIT that wants to buy it for $21 million. The problem is that their Investment Committee doesn’t meet until next week and the Seller needs a binding Letter of Intent this week. You can flip the building in 45 days to the Office Building REIT and, after all expenses, pocket a quick $500,000. It works out to a 32.5% Internal Rate of Return. How are you going to beat that?”What are the practical and theoretical weaknesses in the investment/valuation methodology of Ira Our?
Imagine you are working for an insurance companies. An individual is calming 10,000$ worth of stolen objects on an insurance claim, but you suspect he may only as suffer a loss of 6,000$. You have the ability to offer a settlement. If accepted, the claim is close and the individual receives such payment. If rejected, a court will decide the payment is 6,000$ or 10,000$. If the individual really lost 10,000$, there is 60% chance the court will decide in his favor. If the individual only lost 6,000$, there is 60% chance the court will only grant him that amount. Propose a settlement amount that will allow you to figure out if the individual is lying or not. Between 7600 and 8400
What is the bid price for the following situation: You have been approached by a client interested in buying 130,000 widgets a year from you for 5 years and has asked you to submit a bid for his consideration. To be able to produce these widgets, you need to invest in $830,000 in equipment. The equipment has a taxable life of 10 years and will be depreciated using straight line. At the end of the 5 years, the equipment can be sold for $60,000 (market or scrap value). The variable cost of producing the widgets is $8 per unit and you will incur in a fixed cost of $210,000 a year. You have estimated you will need $70,000 today in working capital. The appropriate discounting rate for this type of projects is 14%. The corporate tax rate applicable to you in this case is 30%. What is the minimum price you would charge for each widget (bid price to be given by you to the client)?
Richard Rambo presently owns the Marine Tower office building, which is 20 years old, and is considering renovating it. He purchased the property two years ago for $800,000 and financed it with a 20-year, 75 percent loan at 4.5 percent interest (monthly payments). Of the $800,000, the appraiser indicated that the land was worth $200,000 and the building $600,000. Rambo has been using straight-line depreciation over 39 years (1/39 per year for simplicity). At the present time Marine Tower is producing $52,000 in NOI, and the NOI and property value are expected to increase 2 percent per year. The current market value of the property is $820,000. Rambo estimates that if the Marine Tower office building is renovated at a cost of $200,000, NOI will be about 20 percent higher next year ($62,400 vs. $52,000) due to higher rents and lower expenses. He also expects that with the renovation the NOI will increase 3 percent per year instead of 2 percent. Furthermore, Rambo believes that after five…
