Answer:
a. $180,000
b. The extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Bank loan = $200,000
Interest rate = 0%
Cost of building = $200,000
Deflation rate = 10%
After one year, the price of the building will reduce to $180,000 ($200,000 * 90%)
So with deflation rate of 10%, you should be able to sell the building for only $180,000.
Expected revenue from owning the building for a year = $5,000
Cost of owning the building for a year = $20,000 ($200,000 - $180,000)
Therefore, the cost of owning the building for a year outstrips the revenue from owning the building by $15,000 ($20,000 -$5,000)
