Question

A real-estate developer seeks to determine the most economical height for a new office building. The building will be sold after five years. The relevant net annual revenues and salvage values are as follows:

(a) The developer is uncertain about the interest rate (i) to use but is certain
that it is in the range of 5% to 20%. For each building height, find the range
of values of i for which that building height is the most economical.
(b) Suppose that the developer's interest rate is known to be 15%. In terms of
PW, what would be the cost of an error in overestimation of resale value
such that the true value is 10% lower than the original estimate?
