Q3. Suppose you are evaluating an investment opportunity in an office building for which you have estimated the following financial characteristics: fficeffice" />
- First year net operating income (NOI) = $75,000.
- Growth rate in net operating income = 5% per year.
- Tax depreciation = $10,000 per year.
- Annual interest expense = $9,000.
- Annual total debt service expense = $12,000.
- Equity investors marginal income tax rate = 36%.
- Investment horizon = four years.

A) CFAT1 = $42,840 and CFAT4 = $50,406.
B) CFAT1 = $51,480 and CFAT4 = $50,766.
C) CFAT = $42,840 and CFAT4 = $47,760.

Q4. property was purchased for $550,000 and sold after six years for $850,000. Costs associated with the sale were $65,000 and the tax depreciation in each year was $20,000. At the time of the sale, $320,000 remained outstanding on the mortgage. The tax rate on recaptured depreciation is 28% and the long-term capital gains tax rate is 20%. The equity reversion after taxes for this property is closest to:
A) $384,400.
B) $365,600.
C) $449,400.
Correct answer is A)
Equity reversion after taxes (ERAT) = net selling price – mortgage balance – taxes.
First, compute taxes.
Recaptured depreciation = 6 × $20,000 = $120,000
Tax on recaptured depreciation = $120,000 ′ 0.28 = $33,600
Total gain on sale = net selling price – adjusted basis
Net selling price = sales price – cost of sale= $850,000 - 65,000 = $785,000
Adjusted basis = cost - accumulated depreciation = $550,000 - 120,000 = $430,000
Total gain = $785,000 - 430,000 = $355,000.
long-term capital gains tax
= capital gains tax rate × (total gain - recaptured depreciation) = 0.20 × (355,000 – 120,000) = 0.20 × 235,000 = $47,000
Total taxes payable
= tax on recaptured depreciation + tax on long-term capital gains = $33,600 + $47,000 = $80,600
ERAT = net selling price – mortgage balance – taxes = 785,000 - 320,000 - 80,600 = $384,400
