Transcribed Image Text:4s6 The annual fuel costs to operate a small solid-waste treatment plant are pro-
jected to be $1.8 million, without consideration for any future inflation. The best
estimates indicate that the annual inflation-free interest rate (i') will be 7% and
the general inflation rate f = 4%. If the plant has a remaining useful life of five
years, what is the present equivalent value of its fuel costs, using actual-dollar
analysis?
(a) $ 6.606 million
(b) $ 3.567 million
(c) $10.095 million
(d) $ 8.317 million

- Consider a 200,000 SF office building complex, with NOI of $25/SF/year with rents and operating expenses paid in arrears (at the end of the year) annually, and no capital expenditures. The rent will increase by 3% per year. The discount rate is 10%/year. a. What is the value of this office building, assuming that the building is sold at the end of year 10 and the cap rate at that time is expected to be 10%? What is the cap rate at time 0? b. What is the value of this office building, assuming that the building will be held and rented indefinitely (perpetually)? What is the implied cap rate at time 0? c. What is the value if the rents are paid in advance (at the beginning of the year) and the building is rented perpetually?arrow_forwardA project that provides annual cash flows of $11322 for eight years costs $80145 today. At what discount rate would you be indifferent between accepting the project and rejecting it?
