Gaber Land Corp. is evaluating a 4-acre (front 2-acre and back 2-acre) waterfront property for development. Gaber is considering a design that includes a 32-unit building on each lot. Determine the total initial cost using the per unit model

Complete Question:

Gaber Land Corp. is evaluating a 4-acre waterfront property for development into rental condominiums. The front 2-acre lot is more expensive to purchase than the rear 2-acre lot, and condo leases closer to the waterfront can be more expensive than those units in the rear. Gaber is considering a design that includes a 32-unit building on each lot.

Data includes the following:

Initial Costs

Lot purchase prices: $400,000/acre front lot, $100,000/acre back lot Legal fees, applications, permits, etc.: $80,000

Site clearing and preparation: $3000/acre

Paving roadways, parking, curbs, and sidewalks: 25% of total lot at $40,000/acre.

Construction costs: $3,000,000 per building

Recurring Costs

Taxes and insurance: $5000/month per building

Landscaping: 25% of lot at S1000/acre/month

Security: $1000 building for $1500/month

Other costs: $2000/month

Revenue (assume 90% annual occupancy)

Front lot units: $2500/unit/month

Rear lot units: $1750/unit/month

Other revenue: $5000/month

Answer the following: (1) Use the concept of the per-unit model to estimate the total initial cost. annual cost, and annual revenue of this prospective project, and (2) If you made the simplifying assumption of no changes to costs and revenues for 10 years, estimate the profitability of this prospective investment ignoring the effects of money's value over time.

Gaber Land Corp.

1a. Total Initial cost: $193,252,000

1b. Annual cost: $5,064,000

1c. Annual revenue: $5,935,200

2. Profitability of Project for 10 years:

Total Revenue  $5,935,200 x 10 years = $59,352,000

Total costs       $5,064,000 x 10 years =   (50,640,000)

Profitability                                                    $8,712,000                    

The profitability totalling $8,712,000 for ten years will be reduced by the allocated cost of building for the same period in order to determine the net income.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial costs:

Lot purchase prices:

Front lot, $400,000/acre x 2 =              $800,000

Back lot $100,000/acre x 2 =                   200,000

Legal fees, applications, permits, etc.       80,000

Site clearing & preparation: $3000/acre  12,000 ($3,000 * 4)

Paving roadways, parking, curbs, and sidewalks:

 25% of total lot at $40,000/acre.          160,000

Construction costs:

 $3,000,000 per building               192,000,000

Total initial costs                            $193,252,000

Annual costs:

Taxes and insurance: $5000/month per building   $3,840,000

Landscaping: 25% of lot at S1000/acre/month               48,000

Security: $1000 building for $1500/month                 1,152,000

Other costs: $2000/month                                             24,000

Total annual costs                                                    $5,064,000

Revenue (assume 90% annual occupancy)

Front lot units:

$2500/unit/month (32 * 4 * 2,500 * 90% * 12) = $3,456,000

Rear lot units:

$1750/unit/month  (32 * 4* 1,750 * 90% * 12) =      2,419,200

Other revenue: $5000/month ($5,000 * 12) =           60,000

Total annual revenue =                                        $5,935,200

they can see what that city is producing and to also see if they can some how get that product. like gold in africa.

if you do not file your taxes you will not have a job, and you credit rate will go down.
