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 long-term lease, which leads you to believe that the current rental income of $210,000 per year will remain constant for the first 5 years. Then the rental income will increase by 10% for every 5-year interval over the remaining life of the asset. that is, the annual rental income would be 231,000 for year 6 through 10, 254,100 for years 11 through 15, 279,510 for years 16 through 20, and 307,461 for years 21 through 25. You estimate the operating expenses, including taxes, will be $80,000 for the first year and that they will increase by $2000 each year thereafter. You also estimate that razing the building and selling the lot on which stands will realize a net amount of $51,000 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 9% per annum, what would be the maximum amount you would be willing to pay for the building and lot at the present time?
