Raul Martinas, a professor of languages at Eastern University, owns a small office building adjacent to the university campus. He acquired the property 10 years ago at a total cost of $559,000—that is, $52,000 for the land and $507,000 for the building. He has just received an offer from a realty company that wants to purchase the property; however, the property has been a good source of income over the years, and so Martinas is unsure whether he should keep it or sell it. His alternatives are as follows:
a. Keep the property. Martinas’s accountant has kept careful records of the income realized from the property over the past 10 years. These records indicate the following annual revenues and expenses: Martinas makes a $12,675 mortgage payment each year on the property. The mortgage will be paid off in eight more years.

Wooden Box, Corp. bought land on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon for its factory in 1912 for $10,000. The company built the factory for $100,000 and the building was fully depreciated, torn down and replaced for $350,000 about fifteen years ago, and is now right in the heart of a rehabilitation zone in the city (the city grew around it). Recently an investor approached Wooden Box, Corp. and offered to buy the factory and land for $4,000,000 because it could be turned into loft apartments. The investor presented a bone fide written offer with earnest money, but the board of the Wooden Box, Corp. refused the offer.
Assuming the building was being depreciated straight-line over 30 years with a $50,000 salvage value, accumulated depreciation would now be about $150,000.
