Question

Dan wants to transfer property with a $ 900 comma 000$900,000 FMV to an irrevocable trust with a bank as the trustee. Dan will name his distant cousin Elliot to receive all of the trust income annually for the next ten years. Then the property will revert to Dan. In the last few years, the income return (yield) on the property has been 88%. Assume this yield is not likely to decline and that the applicable rate from the actuarial tables is 6%. a. What will be the amount of Dan's gift to Elliot? b. Would you recommend that Dan transfer the property yielding 8% to this type of a trust? Explain. If not, what type of property would you recommend that Dan transfer to the trust?

Explanation / Answer

Income return on property = 88%; that mens value would be $900000 * 88% = $792000

Value of propert after 10 years = Yield on income * sum of pvf @6% for 10 years

= $792000 * 6.210

= $4918320

a. Amount of Dan's gift to Elliot would be $4918320

b. if the applicable rate is 8%, then value would be $792000 * 5.747 = $4551624

No, I would not recommend Dan to transfer the property at 8% yield rate.

Type of property that Dan transfers to the trust should be based on the IRR.
