Please answer the following questions using net present values (NPV) and internal rates of retun (IRR) as part of your analysis. What would Jill have to sell the property for, to achieve a 15% return on equity? 1) 2) Assume the same situation as above but that the property can be sold at the end of the holding period for what it cost to buy the property (total purchase costs) increasing each year at the rate of inflation.

(i)Her analysis of the market indicates that if she renovates the shop, the market rental will be $375 per week (as above) and she will be able to sell the property in 4 years for $320,000. ) Alternatively, if she does not renovate, she will only be able to charge per week and sell the property for $290,000.

Explanation / Answer

1. Total cost($)

Total purchase=200,000

legal cost=800

Renovation=25000

Total cost=200000+800+25000=225800

ROE=15%

Interest cost of selling is =(225800/2)*0.12=13548

Total annual expenditure=3000

Total cash outflow=225800+3000=228800

Total selling is 15% =x-228800/228800

3432000=x-228800

=3432000-228800=x

3203200=x

subtract the interest rate which is 3203200-13548=3189652

This is selling price for the property=3189652

2.cashoutflow at the beginning of year t0=228800

t1=228800*(1+0.15)^1=263120

t2=263120*(1.15)^2=347976

t3=347976*(1.15)^3=529228

t4=529228*(1.15)^4=925623

NPV=cash inflow if property hold for 4 year period=925623 and cost of inflow if 205920

cost of Mortgage

TO=225800

T1=270960

T2=390182

T3=809082

T4=1677713

since its better to mortgage and earn on that interest which is fetching a net profit 1471793 as compared to selling it in the market.

3. a) Renovation cost Rent per annum=18000 and for 4year =72000 selling price would be 320000. so it wise to sell a property than to rent it.

b)Renovation cost rent per annum =15600 and for 4 years =62400 and selling price would be 290000. so again it is wise to sell the property the to rent it.
