You are considering the purchase of another office building close to your existing office building The building is a 10-year old structure with an ostimated remaining service life of 20 years. The tenants have recently signed long-term leases, which leads you to believe that the current rental income of $180,000 per year will remain constant for the first five years, Then the rental income will increase by 20% for every five-year interval over the remaining asset life. Thus, the annual rental income would be $216,000 for years 6 through 10, $259,200 for years 11 through 15, and $311,040 for yoars 16 through 20. You estimate that operating expenses will be $35,000 for the first year and that they will increase by $8,000 each year thereafter. You estimate that completely destroying the building and selling the lot on which it stands will realize a net amount of $200,000 at the end of the 20th year. If you had the opportunity to invest your money elsewhere and thereby earn interest at the rate of 10% per year, what would be the maximum amount (approximately) you would be willing to pay for the building at the present time?

Suppose that a company needs new equipment, and that the machinery in question earns the company revenue at a continuous rate of 58000t + 39000 dollars per year during the first six months of operation, and at the continuous rate of $68000 per year after the first six months. The cost of the machine is $145000. The interest rate is 8% per year, compounded continuously. a) Find the present value of the revenue earned by the machine during the first year of operation. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Value: $ 59503.66 b) Determine how long it will take for the machine to pay for itself; that is, how long until the present value of the revenue is equal to the cost of the machine. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Years: ⠀
A new office building is expected to produce the initial net operating income (NOI) of $10 at time 1. The NOI is expected to grow 5% per year, and the investor expects an annual IRR of 15%. If the construction cost is $90, what is the land value at time 0?
You want to establish your own business and are thinking about releasing a new product. Customers will pay P200 for it, according to market research, and your sales team believes they can sell at least 1,000 units every month. The payment for P1,800,000 equipment you'll need to make the product will be spread out over three years (monthly). Costs of producing the product are direct labor P20, direct materials P15, shipping P5 and sales commission P10. Justify whether or not the product is financially viable.
Last month Jim purchased $10.200 of US Treasury bonds (their face value was $10,200). These bonds have a 28-year maturity period, and they pay 2.0% interest every three months (ie the APR is 8%, and Jim receves a check for $204 every three months). But interest rates for similar securities have since risen to a 12% APR because of interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board. In view of the interest-rate increase to 12%, what is the current value of Jim's bonds? The current value of Jin's bonds is (Round to the nearest dollar )
The present price (year 0) of kerosene is $4.30 per gallon, and its cost is expected to increase by 10% per year. (At the end of year 1, kerosene will cost $4.73 per gallon.) Mr. Garcia uses about 800 gallons of kerosene for space heating during a winter season. He has an opportunity to buy a storage tank for $600, and at the end of four years, he can sell the storage tank for $100. The tank has a capacity to supply four years of Mr. Garcia's heating needs. So, he can buy four years' worth of kerosene at its present price ($4.30), or he can invest his money elsewhere at 6% interest. Should he purchase the storage tank? Assume that kerosene purchased on a pay-as-you-go basis is paid for at the end of the year. (However, kerosene purchased for the storage tank is purchased now.)
A water supply system is being considered for a small district. The system requires an initial investment of P8M, will operate for 15 years and will be sold for P0.4M after that time. Annual operations and maintenance costs is expected to be P48 000.00 for the first year and is expected to increase by P12 000.00 each year thereafter. Determine the annual cost of this project using i= 11%. (Ans. - P1,210,425.43)-PLEASE USE AN ACTUAL FORMULA NOT EXCEL
A syndicate wishes to purchase an oil well which estimates indicate, will produce a net income of P2M per year for 30 years. What should be the syndicate pay for the well if out of this net income, a return of 10% of the investment is desired and a sinking fund is to established at 3% interest to recover this investment.
The General Mills Company (GMC) purchased a milling machine for $80,000, which it intends to use for the next five years. This machine is expected to save GMC $37,000 during the first operating year. Then the annual savings are expected to decrease by 4% each subsequent year over the previous year due to increased maintenance costs. Assuming that GMC would operate the machine for an average of 4,000 hours per year and that it would have no appreciable salvage value at the end of the five-year period, determine the equivalent dollar savings per operating hour at 8% interest compounded annually. Click the icon to view the interest factors for discrete compounding when i = 8% per year. The equivalent net savings are $ per operating hour. (Round to the nearest cent.)
A semiconductor chip maker purchased a small manufacturing process plant for $2,131,020. The money coming in from that purchase was determined to be $500,000 annually in before-tax cash flow during its 10-year use. The net cash flow after tax is $300,000. If the chip maker wants to realize a 10% return on its investment after tax, for how many more years should the plant operate? (hint, tables)
To avoid the foreclosure of a 9,000 square foot parking lot near USC, a real estate developer was discussing alternatives with her lender. The developer bought the parking lot in an LLC for $7.2 million in 2017, with family and friends as equity investors and with a $3.6 million land loan at a 6% annual interest rate fully amortizing over 25 years with recourse to the borrower LLC. The developer planned to rezone the land from commercial use to residential use to build student housing to be completed in 2020, but it was taking years longer than she expected to get the necessary governmental approvals and by 2023 the investors were no longer able to continue making the required monthly debt service payments on the land loan. Which of the following loan workout alternatives would be LEAST likely to be acceptable to their current lender? a. Permanently reducing the interest rate on the mortgage loan or writing down the outstanding principal balance of the loan b. Finding a…
A construction manager just starting in private practice needs a van to carry crew and equipment. She can lease a used van for $3910 per year, paid at the beginning of each year, in which case maintenance is provied. Alternatively, she can buy a used van for $5407 and pay for maintenance herself. She expects to keep the van for three years at which time she could sell it for $1045. What is the most she should pay for uniform annual maintenance to make it worthwhile to buy the van instead of leasing it, if her MARR is 20%? Enter your answer as follow: 123456
Your firm is thinking about investing $300,000 in the overhaul of a manufacturing cell in a lean environment. Revenues are expected to be $33,000 in year one and then increasing by $11,000 more each year thereafter.
