Your client is considering the acquisition of an apartment complex from a developer at the point in time when the apartments are ready for first occupancy. Your have developed the following information.
1) Number of units = 30
2) First year market rent per unit = $480 per month
3) Rent is projected to increase by 8% each year
4) Annual vacancy rate = 3% of PGI(Potential Gross Income)
5) Annual collection loss = 2% of PGI(Potential Gross Income)
6) Annual operating expense = 34% of EGI
7) Miscellaneous yearly income (parking and washers/dryers) = $1000
8) Monthly miscellaneous income is expected to remain constant
9) Purchase price = $1,800,000
10) Estimated value of land = $300,000
11) Anticipated mortgage terms:
a) Loan to value ratio = .80
b) Interest rate = 6.5%
c) Years to maturity = 25
d) Points charged = 3
e) Prepayment penalty = 2% of outstanding balance
f) Level payment, fully amortized
g) Fixed interest rate, annual payments
12) Anticipated holding period = 4 years
13) Proportion by which property is expected to appreciate during the holding period -- 5% a year
14) Estimated selling expenses as proportion of future sales price = 5%
15) Marginal income tax rate for the client = 28%
16) It is assumed that the property is put into service on January 1st and sold on December 31st

19) Client's minimum required after tax rate of return on equity = 13%
Calculate:
The before-tax and after-tax cash flows for each year of the holding period and the before-tax and after-tax equity reversion.
The after-tax net present value and after-tax internal rate of return to the investor.
The profitability index (this is calculated on an after-tax basis).
