- finance Micah is going to buy a rental house to begin building his real estate wealth. He is not sure how much to pay for the property because it needs work. He surveys the area and find that a home in good condition sells for $225,000 and rents are $1250 per month. He will spend the first year spending $35,000 on remodeling and receive no rent. In the second year he will begin collecting rent and will also install a new HVAC system for $18,000. He will sell the home in five years for the current full market value. Micah wants a 15% annual return on his money to take this risk and go to all the trouble. HOW MUCH SHOULD MICAH PAY FOR THE HOME? (Answer in dollars). (Hint: Use the following format in a financial calculator or Excel. Fill in the Cash Flows (CF). Cash Flow 0 (CF0) = 0. Use 0 because we do not know how much he should pay up front for the home. Stating CF0 may not be necessary in Excel. CF1= CF2= CF3= CF4= CF5= i= NPV=___________________arrow_forwardhand written pleasearrow_forwardAnswer the situationarrow_forward
- Note: To fully answer this question, the use of numerical approximation methods is required. A spreadsheet may be useful too. Robert has struck an agreement to buy his dad's car. The sale takes place when Robert can pay the depreciated value of the car. The car is valued at $38,000 today but loses 0.5% in value each month due to depreciation. Robert starts a regular savings plan to buy the car and plans to invest $100 at the end of each month into an account that earns him 0.25% per month. (a) Calculate, to the nearest month, how long Robert must wait before he can buy the car? (b) Robert wants to have the car in ten years and so he searches for a bank account that can pay a higher interest rate. What is the minimum rate he must look for to achieve his goal? (c) The best offer rate Robert can find is 0.8% per month, but he is determined to get the car. He plans to revise his monthly savings amount. Calculate the minimum this has to be to achieve his goal.arrow_forwardMr. Russ T. Steele sels his old vehicle for $5000 (you get more if you private sale!) and pays cash for a used (but newer vehicle) that costs $10.000. He also understands that he needs to allow for maintenance and operation costs of his vehicle. He estimates that these costs will be approximately $2000 a year and estimates that the costs will increase by $100 per year. He hopes to keep the vehicle for five years and then sell it for an estimated value of $2000. Mr. Steele has an MARR of 8%.

- Helen just graduated from college. Since she is starting her own business, it's time to upgrade from her clunker to a reliable vehicle. Helen has the option to purchase a new car for her business at a cost of $17,612 (life of 7 years with no salvage value), estimating that it would help her bring in additional annual net operating cash flows of $7,400 over the life of the car. Determine the simple payback period and the IRR for this investment. Helen expects her business income to be subject to a 30% tax rate. (Round simple payback period to 3 decimal places, e.g. 15.256 and IRR to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25%. Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
