Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.

Cost of equity:

= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)

At the beginning, when there was no debt,

WACC = cost of equity = 10%

Levered cost of equity:

= 10% + ( 10% - 6%) × 0.2

= 10.8%

Therefore, Taggart's levered cost of equity would be closest to 11%.

babymother [125]

Answer:

number of periods = 8 years.

Explanation:

We know,

Future Value = Present value × (1 + r)^{n}

Here,

Present value = PV = $2,500

Future value = FV = $3,500

Interest rate (Compounding) = 5% = 0.05

We have to determine how many years (Periods) it will take, n = ?

Putting the values into the above formula,

$3,500 = $2,500 × (1 + 0.05)^{n}

or, (1 + 0.05)^{n} = $3,500 ÷ $2,500

or, n log 1.05 = 1.4

or, n × 0.17609 = 1.4

or, n =  1.4 ÷ 0.17609

Therefore, number of years = 7.95 or 8 years.

The rental income generated by a lease can depend significantly on the proportion of property-level operating expenses paid by t
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

4) Triple net lease

Explanation:

In a triple net lease (NNN lease), the tenant is responsible for all the expenses related to the leased property including property taxes, maintenance fees, reparations and property insurance. NNN leases are usually commercial leases only.

The landlord's disadvantage with a NNN lease is that the monthly lease payment tends to be lower since the tenant assumes all the costs related to the leased property. On the other hand, a NNN lease generally provides a stable cash flow, so its associated risk is lower.

A property that produces a first year NOI of $80,000 is purchased for $750,000. The NOI is expected stay constant through year 5
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: $115998

Explanation:

Based on the information given, we can calculate the NOI from the 6th year which will be:

= $80,000 × (100% + 15%)

= $80,000 × 115%

= $80,000 × 1.15

= $92,000

Therefore, the net present value of the property based on the 10-year holding period and a discount rate of 9.5% will be:

= 80000(PVAF, 5 year) + 92000[PVAF,(10-5),9.5%] + 830000/(1.095)10-750000

= (80000 × 3.839) + (92000 × 2.439) + (830000 × 0.403) - 750000

= 307120 + 224388 + 334490 - 750000

= 865998 - 750000

= $115998

Therefore, the net present value is $115998

Nady [450]

Adjustment = ($2,700) + $4,800 + $4,400

The estimation of the write off from the previous year must be discounted, the added the write off registered during the year plus the estimate at the end of the period.
