Suppose an H1200 supercomputer has a cost of $200,000 and will have a residual market value of $60,000 in five years. The risk-free interest rate is 5% APR with monthly compounding.
- a. What is the risk-free monthly lease rate for a five-year lease in a perfect market?
- b. What would be the monthly payment for a five-year $200,000 risk-free loan to purchase the H1200?
a.
To determine: The risk-free monthly lease rate payment in a perfect market.
Introduction: Lease is a contract between the lessee and lessor for the use of an asset. Lessee agrees to pay a specific amount as per contract to the lessor for the use of the lessor asset.
Answer to Problem 1P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Supercomputer cost: $200,000.
Lease term: 5 years.
Lease payment period:
Residual market value: $60,000.
Risk free interest rate: 5.00%
Formula for the calculation of present value of the payment:
Formula for the calculation of the monthly lease payment in perfect market:
Calculate the present value (PV) of the lease payment:
Therefore, the PV of the lease payment is $153,248.60.
Calculate the monthly lease payment in a perfect market:
Lease payment remains for 59 payments that are paid as an annuity because the first lease payment is paid in upfront.
Therefore, the monthly lease payment in a perfect market is $2,880.02.
b.
To determine: The monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan.
Answer to Problem 1P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Lease term: 5 years.
Lease payment period:
Interest rate: 5.00%.
Formula for the calculation of the monthly lease payment:
Calculation of the monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan:
Therefore, the monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan is $3,774.24.

The companys minimum required rate of return is 8%. What is the internal rate of return? Should Redbird accept the project based on IRR?arrow_forwardA) You are considering an investment that will pay you $75,000 semi-annually for 5 years. Assuming you require a minimum rate of return of 8.75 percent, what is the most you are willing to pay for this investment? Assuming a discount rate of 6%, what is the future value of 100,000 per year for 12 years if the payments occur at the beginning of each period? Assuming a required return of 5.5%, how much would you be willing to pay for an investment that pays you and your heirs $50,000 per year in perpetuity?arrow_forward
- You are considering an investment in a 40-year security. The security will pay $25 a year at the end of each of the first three years. The security will then pay $30 a year at the end of each of the next 20 years. The discount rate is assumed to be 8 percent, and the current price (present value) of the security is $360.39. Given this information, what is the equal annual end-of-year payment to be received from year 24 through year 40arrow_forwardConsider 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_forwardI need a detailed explanation and assistance to solve this problem: An investment offers $6,800 per year for 20 years, with the first payment occuring one year from now. a) If the required return is 7%, what is the present value of the investment? b) at 7% return, what would the value be today, if the payments occured for 45 years? c) What would the present value be, if the payments occured for 70 years? d) What would the present value be, if the payments occured forever?arrow_forward
- You are considering an investment in a 40-year security. The security will pay $25 a year at the end of each of the first three years. The security will then pay $30 a year at the end of each of the next 20 years. The nominal interest rate is assumed to be 8%, and the current price (present value) of the security is $360.39. Given this information, what is the equal annual payment to be received from Year 24 through Year 40 (for 17 years)?arrow_forwardan investment offers 3850 per year for 15 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now. If the required return is 6 percent, what is the value of the investment? What would the value be if the payments occurred for 40 years? For 75 years? Forever?arrow_forwardWilson's Antiques is considering a project with an initial cost today of $5,000. The project has a life of 2 years with cash inflows of $4,000 a year. Should the firm decide to wait one year to commence this project, the initial cost will increase by 10 percent, and the cash inflows will increase to $5,000 a year. What is the value of the option to wait at a discount rate of 8 percent?arrow_forward
- A machine costs $5240 and produces benefits of $1000 at the end of each year for 8 years. Assume an annual interest rate of 10%. (a) What is the payback period (in years)? (b) What is the breakeven point (in years)? (c) Since the answers in (a) and (b) are different, which one is “correct”?arrow_forwardAn investment offers $5,300 per year, with the first payment occurring one year from now. The required return is 6 percent. a. What would the value be today if the payments occurred for 15 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What would the value be today if the payments occurred for 40 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What would the value be today if the payments occurred for 75 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) d. What would the value be today if the payments occurred forever? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)arrow_forwardConsider an asset that costs $120 today. You are going to hold it for 1 year and then sell it. Suppose that there is a 25 percent chance that it will be worth $100 in a year, a 25 percent chance that it will be worth $115 in a year, and a 50 percent chance that it will be worth $140 in a year. What is its average expected rate of return? Next, fifi gure out what the investment’s average expected rate of return would be if its current price were $130 today. Does the increase in the current price increase or decrease the asset’s average expected rate of return? At what price would the asset have a zero rate of return?arrow_forward
