Question

small income-producing property is priced at $600,000 and is expected to generate the following after-tax cash flows: Year 1: $42,000; Year 2: $44,000; Year 3: $45,000; Year 4: $50,000; and Year 5: $650,000. Would an investor with a required after-tax rate of return of 15 percent be wise to invest at the current price

Answer 1

Answer:

$-148,867.17

Explanation:

Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

=42000/1.15+44000/1.15^2+45000/1.15^3+50000/1.15^4+650,000/1.15^5

=$451132.83

NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows

=$451132.83-$600,000

=($148867.17)(Approx)(Negative figure)

Hence since NPV is negative;investment must not be made.
