Answer:
a) Present Value of sales = $2,722,332.78
b) Property is not attractive. NPV$ (277,667.21)
c) Property is attractive. NPV-$520,874.79
Explanation:
The present value of the property
PV = S× (1+r)^(-n)
S- Sales value
r- interest rate -8%
n- number of years
PV - present value
PV = 4,000,000× 1.08^(-5) = $2,722,332.78
b. Is the property investment attractive to you?
We calculated the PV of the investment as follows
NPV = PV of sales value - initial cost
= 2,722,332.78 - 3,000,000=$ (277,667.21)
The property investment is not attractive because it will produce a loss in capital i.e negative NPV
C
To determine we will calculate the NPV again with considering the additional rental income
PV of annual rent = 200,000 × (1-1.08^(-5))/0.08= 798,542.00
NPV = 798,542.00 + 277,667.2119 - 3,000,000 =520,874.79
The property is attractive as it produces positive NPV
