M5Q4
The pension fund has decided to discount the riskier cash flows at a higher discount rate to determine
investment value. They will discount the percentage rent at 18 percent and the base rent at 14 percent
in order to determine the investment value. Sale proceeds will be projected by capitalizing the year six
net operating income due to the percentage rent at 12 percent and the net operating income due to the
base rent at 10percent. Using this process how much should the fund pay for the center?
Year Total NOI. %Rent NOI = Base Rent NOI
1 $400k $40k $360k
2 $410k $41k $369K
3 $420k $42K $378K
4 $430k $43K $387K
5 $440k $44K $396K
6 $450k $45k $405K - correct answer > Because we are dealing with both a base rent and % rent, we will
have to make two T charts and then use tab 4 to solve for each NPV.
,For base rent, use periods 0-5 or $0-396k respectively. End sale proceeds are based on a 10% cap rate
for the base rent. =$4,050,000 (450,000/.1)
For % rent, use periods 0-5 or $0-44k respectively.End sale proceeds are based on a 12% cap rate for
the % rent. =$375,000(45000/.12)
Once you populate each table, based on the respective Discount rates of 14% for the base rent and
18% for the percentage rent.
Base rent NPV = $3,393,110
Percentage Rent NPV = $294,234
Total the pension fund would be willing to pay = $3,687,344 (Add both NPV's)
