Your firm is considering purchasing an old office building


Your firm is considering purchasing an old office building with an estimated remaining service life of 25 years. Recently, the tenants signed a long-term lease, which leads you to believe that the current rental income of $300,000 per year will remain constant for the first five years. Then the rental income will increase by 20% for every five-year interval over the remaining life of the asset. That is, the annual rental income would be $360,000 for years 6 through 10, $432,000 for years 11 through 15, $518,400 for years 16 through 20, and $622080 for years 21 through 25. You estimate that operating expenses, including income taxes, will be $80,000 for the first year and that they will increase by $4,000 each year thereafter. You also estimate that razing the building and selling the lot on which is stands will realize a net amount of $48,000 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 11% per annum, what would be the max amount you would be willing to pay for the building and lot at te present time?
