Problem 2-15 Present values Suppose you own a small company that is contemplating construction of a suburban office block. The cost of buying the land and constructing the building is $800,000. Your company has cash in the bank to finance construction. Your real estate adviser suggests that you rent out the building for two years at $35,000 a year and predicts that at the end of that time you will be able to sell the building for $880,000. Thus there are now two future cash flows--a cash flow of C1 = $35,000 at the end of year 1 and a further cash flow of C2 = ($35,000 + 880,000) = $915,000 at the end of the second year. a. Calculate the NPV of the office building venture at interest rates of 7, 12, and 17%. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Net present value at 5% Net present value at 10% Net present value at 15% b. At what discount rate (approximately) would the project have a zero NPV? Check your answer by calculating the NPV at your approximate rate; it should be close to zero. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to the nearest whole number.) Approximate discount rate %
