Marin Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in Western Canada. In order to do so, Marin has decided to locate a new factory in Kelowna, B.C. Marin will either buy or lease a site, depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three buildings.
Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $601,000, useful life 25 years.
Building B: Lease for 25 years with annual lease payments of $71,000 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $651,000 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 25 years at a net annual rental of $6,600. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. Marin Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
Question 1: Calculate the net present value of three buildings, assuming a 10% cost of funds. (For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided. Round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
