Calculate the present value of the after tax net returns to land in the 7th year if thereal pre-tax net returns to land today ar

Aleks [24]

Answer:

b. $216.08

Explanation:

Fn = Fo * (1+g)^n

Fn = $250*(1.05)^7

Fn = $250*1.40710

Fn = $351.775

Nominal net returns = $351.775 * (1.04)^7

Nominal net returns = $351.775 * 1.315932

Nominal net returns = $462.912

After tax return = Nominal net returns * (1 - 20%)

After tax return = $462.912 * (1 - 0.2)

After tax return = $370.33

After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1*(1 - 0.2)

After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1*0.8

After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.08

After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 8%

PV after-tax net return in 7th year = After tax return * (1+8%)^-7

PV after-tax net return in 7th year = $370.33 * (1+0.08)^-7

PV after-tax net return in 7th year = $370.33 * 0.583490

PV after-tax net return in 7th year = $216.08

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Let suppose the value of property is 100 dollars currently.

The price of a certain property increased by 10% in the first year, means the value of property at this point is (100 *1.1) 110 dollars.

In the second year the value of property decreases by 20% mean the value of property at this point is (110*0.80) 88 dollars, that is 80% of previous value determine.

In the third year the value of property increases by 25% mean the value of property at this point is (88*1.25) 110 dollars that is 25% more than previous value determine.

So in second year the value in dollars is 88 dollars.
