Question - McCormick & Company is considering building a new factory in Largo, Maryland. James Francis, a landowner, is selling a 4.35-acre parcel of industrial zoned land with a listed sale price of $3,000,000.00 for the land. McCormick & Company is interested in the land and so is another manufacturing company. The competing manufacturing company has made an offer of $2,300,000.00 in cash and $300,000 each year for 15 years for the land. McCormick & Company knows it can make an offer to outbid the competitor to obtain the land. So, McCormick & Company decided to offer $4,242,000.00 in cash.
Now, the land owner, James Francis, must make a decision between the two competing offers. To make this decision, James should first identify the Present Value (PV) of each offer. James's bank is offering a 12 percent (12%) interest rate when invested through the bank-managed growth stock portfolios. Let's help James make his decision by answering the following questions using the template to the right.
1. Without any calculation involving TVM, what offer would James accept?
2. Using PV and/or FV, which offer should James accept? Does it change your perspective? Elaborate and explain.
McCormick & Company has decided in order for the company to have a minimal impact on current cash flows, the company will need to borrow seventy percent (70%) Loan to Value (LTV) of the $4,242,000.00 offer in the form of a commercial acquisition and development loan to purchase the land. This means McCormick & Company will need to make a thirty percent (30%) down payment to secure the commercial acquisition and development loan. McCormick & Company is considering three different loan options:
Loan A: 20-year loan with a fixed annual interest rate of 6 percent
Loan B: 10-year loan with a fixed annual interest rate of 4.5 percent
Loan C: 15-year loan with a fixed annual interest rate of 5 percent
3. How much of the total $4,242,000.00 offer will be financed?
4. Which loan will have the lowest monthly payment?
5. Which loan will have the lowest total payback amount?
6. Would you recommend McCormick & Company select the loan with lowest monthly payment or lowest total payment and why?
