a.
To calculate: The expected cash flow of each apartment complex.
Introduction:
Expected value:
Also known as mean, it is the value estimated or anticipated to be earned in the future from an investment. It is computed by adding up the values obtained after multiplying each outcome with its probability.
Cash flow:
The amount of cash and its equivalents transferred in and out of a business is termed as cash flow.
b.
To calculate: The CoV of each apartment complex.
Introduction:
Coefficient of variation ( CoV ):
It is the ratio of SD (standard deviation) to the mean that shows the extent of variability of data in relation to the mean of the population.
c.
To explain: The riskier apartment complex.
Introduction:
Coefficient of variation ( CoV ):
It is the ratio of SD (standard deviation) to the mean that shows the extent of variability of data in relation to the mean of the population.

C) How does one determine the value of any asset whose value is based on expected future cash flows? D)How is the value of a bond determined? What is the value of a 10-year, $1,000 par value bond with a 10% annual coupon if its required rate of return is 10%? E) What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond?arrow_forwardMrs. Dionne Jackson desires to invest a portion of her assets in rental property.

- A developer must choose between two projects: In Project A, she would build an apartment building for $200 million immediately and then collect $300 million in rent next year. In Project B, she would build condominiums for $200 million immediately and spend another $300 million on construction next year. Then, in the year after that, she would collect $400 million in condo purchases. The discount rate is 25%. (a) Why are such projects commonly evaluated with the concept of present value? (b) Use present value to determine which project the developer should choose.arrow_forwardVidhi is investing in some rental property in Collegeville and is investigating her income from the investment. She knows the rental revenue will increase each year, but so will the maintenance expenses. She has been able to generate the data that follows regarding this investment opportunity. Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of each year and that the purchase and sale of this property are not relevant to the study. At 6% annual interest rate, calculate the Present Worth of the project.arrow_forwardA local real estate investor in Orlando is considering three alternative investments: a motel, a restaurant, or a theater. Profits from the motel or restaurant will be affected by the availability of gasoline and the number of tourists; profits from the theater will be relatively stable under any conditions. The following payoff table shows the profit or loss that could result from each investment: Determine the best investment, using the following decision criteria. a. Maximax b. Maximin c. Minimax regret d. Hurwicz e. Equal likelihoodarrow_forward
- Investment in Real Estate is a longterm investment which affect the cash flows position of the entity either positively or negatively. Required a). Discuss the above statement in the context of Real Estate Investment b). How can a Real Estate owner make provisions for value decline in the asset and what causes value decline c). Suppose the price of a house in year zero now is $5 million and the price of the house in one year's time will be $5.6 million.

What Is the payback period of this uneven cash flow? B. Does your answer change if year 6s cash inflow changes to $920,000?arrow_forwardAlexander Industries is considering purchasing an insurance policy for its new office building in St. Louis, Missouri. The policy has an annual cost of $10,000. If Alexander Industries doesn’t purchase the insurance and minor fire damage occurs, a cost of $100,000 is anticipated; the cost if major or total destruction occurs is $200,000. The costs, including the state-of-nature probabilities, are as follows: Using the expected value approach, what decision do you recommend? What lottery would you use to assess utilities? (Note: Because the data are costs, the best payoff is $0.) Assume that you found the following indifference probabilities for the lottery defined in part (b). What decision would you recommend? Do you favor using expected value or expected utility for this decision problem? Why?arrow_forward
