Question

John and Sally Claussen are contemplating the purchase of a hardware store from John Duggan. The Claussens anticipate that the store will generate cash flows of $79,000 per year for 20 years. At the end of 20 years, they intend to sell the store for an estimated $490,000. The Claussens will finance the investment with a variable rate mortgage. Interest rates will increase twice during the 20-year life of the mortgage. Accordingly, the Claussens’ desired rate of return on this investment varies as follows: Years 1–5 8 % Years 6–10 10 % Years 11–20 12 % Required: What is the maximum amount the Claussens should pay John Duggan for the hardware store? (Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.) (Use PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Round "PV Factors" to 5 decimal places, intermediate and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

please ignore the above part , thats wrong i am adding the correct answer below

Back to year 10

PV9FV=490,000 PMT=79,000 , N=10 I=12%)

490,000* .32197                          = 157,765

79,000 * 5.65022                         = 446,367

                                                        =604,132

Back to year 5

PV(FV = 604,132 PMT =79,000 N=5 I=10%)

604,142 * .62092                          = 375,118

79,000   * 3.79079                        = 299,472

                                                         $674,590

Back to present

PV (FV = 674,590       PMT= 79,000    N=5 I=8%)

674,590 * .68058                         = 459,112

79,000 * 3.99271                        = 315,424

                                                         =774,536
