Question

home / study / business / finance / questions and answers / you are considering the purchase of a parking deck ... Question You are considering the purchase of a parking deck close to your office building. The parking deck is a 15-year old structure with an estimated remaining service life of 25 years. The tenants have recently signed long-term leases, which leads you to believe that the current rental income of $250,000 per year will remain constant for the first five years. Then the rental income will increase by 10% for every five-years interval over the remaining asset life. Thus the annual rental income would be $275,000 for years 6 through 10, $366025 for years 21 through 25. You estimate that operating expenses, including income taxes, will be $65,000 for the first year and that they will increase by $6,000 each year thereafter. You estimate that $200,000 at the end of the 25-year period. If you had the opportunity to invest your money elsewhere and thereby earn interest at the rate of 15% per annum, what would be the maximum amount you would be willing to pay for the parking deck and lot at the present time?
