A young engineer is considering to built a 25unit apartment near a commercial center. Because of the location, the investment can guarantee a 90% occupancy rate. So then, the project can have an earnings of 20% annually. Other data are the following: Land P10M Building cost 14M Projected Useful life Cost of land after 20 years 20 years 38M Cost of Building after 20 years Rent/unit/month 3.8M 13,000.00 Maintenance/unit/year Property Taxes Building Insurance 2,200.00 2% 0.7% Is this a good investment? Apply the methods of economic studies.

A developer plans to start construction of a building in one year if at that point rent levels make construction feasible. At that time the building will cost $1,340,000 to construct. During the first year after construction would take place, there is a 60 percent chance that NOI will be $175,500 and a 40 percent chance that the NOI will be $88,600. In either case, NOI would be expected to increase at 2 percent per year after the first year. Required: How much should the developer be willing to pay for the land if he wants a 12 percent rate of return? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Amount payable by developer $ 1,334,444

A businessman is considering building a 25 unit apartment. The occupancy rate is expected to be 90% at all time.  He desires a ROR of 20% in his investment. Other data are:   Land investment = P5,000,000   Building construction = P7,000,000   Life of investment = 20 years   Cost of land after 20 years = P20,000,000   Cost of building after 20 years = P2,000,000   Rent per unit per month = P10,000   Maintenance per unit per year = P2500   Taxes per year = 1%   Insurance per year = 0.50%   Is this a good investment? Use ROR method.   Answer: Investment is justified, but what is the value of ROR? (VALUE OF ROR IS MORE THAN 12.55%)

A developer plans to start construction of a building in two years if, at that point, rent levels make construction feasible. At that time, the building will cost $1,000,000 to construct. During the first year after construction (year 3), there is a 50% chance that NOI will be $150,000 and a 50% chance that the NOI will be $75,000. In either case, NOI would be expected to increase at 4% per year thereafter. What is the value of the real option on the vacant land today if the relevant discount rate is 14%?
