You purchased land 3 years ago for $60000 and believe its market value is now $90000. You are considering building a hotel on this land instead of selling it. To build the hotel, it will initially cost you $150000, an expense that you plan to depreciate straight line over the next three years. Wells Fargo offered you a loan for $60,000 at an 8% interest rate to be repaid over the next 4 years. You anticipate that the hotel will earn revenues of $165000 each year, while expenses will be a mere $30000 each year. The initial working capital requirement will be $7000 which will be recovered in the last year. The tax rate is 35%. Your estimated cost of capital is 10%. What is the net present value of this project?
