Question

A building owner charges net rent of $20 in the first year, $21 in the second year, and $22 in the third year. Using a 10 percent discount rate, what is the effective rent over the three years

Answer 1

Answer:

$20.94

Explanation:

first we must determine the present value of the the 3 rent amounts:

PV = $20/1.1 + $21/1.1² + $22/1.1³ = 52.07

then you need to calculate the payment considering the following values:

• principal = $52.07
• n = 3
• i = 10%

using a loan calculator payment = $20.9381 ≈ $20.94
