An owner of the Atrium Tower is currently negotiating a 5 year lease with ACME Corp. for 20,000 rentable SF. ACME would like a base rent of $25/SF with step-ups of $1/year beginning one year from now. a) What is the present value of cash flows to Atrium (assume A 10% discount rate) b) The owner of ATRIUM believes that the Base rent of $25/SF in (a) is too low and wants to raise that amount to $29 with the same step-ups. If so, Atrium would provide ACME with a $50,000 moving allowance and $150,000 in tenant improvements. What is the PV of this alternative and the effective rent. c) ACME informs ATRIUM it will pay $23/SF but must buyout one year left on its existing lease ($15/SF on 20,000/SF); no moving allowance or tenant Improvements. What is the PV of this alternative and the effective rent.
Answer to part a)
Calculation of Present Value
| Year | Rate | SF | Cash Flow | PV Factor | PV | 
| 1 | 25 | 20000 | 500000 | 0.909 | 454500 | 
| 2 | 26 | 20000 | 520000 | 0.826 | 429520 | 
| 3 | 27 | 20000 | 540000 | 0.751 | 405540 | 
| 4 | 28 | 20000 | 560000 | 0.683 | 382480 | 
| 5 | 29 | 20000 | 580000 | 0.621 | 360180 | 
| 2032220 | 
So present value will be 2032220.
Answer to part b)
| Year | Rate | SF | 
Cash Flow [(Rate x SF) - 200000]  | 
PV Factor | PV | 
Effective Rent (Cash Flow/SF)  | 
| 1 | 29 | 20000 | 380000 | 0.909 | 345420 | 19 | 
| 2 | 30 | 20000 | 400000 | 0.826 | 330400 | 20 | 
| 3 | 31 | 20000 | 420000 | 0.751 | 315420 | 21 | 
| 4 | 32 | 20000 | 440000 | 0.683 | 300520 | 22 | 
| 5 | 33 | 20000 | 460000 | 0.621 | 285660 | 23 | 
| Present Value | 1577420 | |||||
So, the present Value of this alternative will be $ 1577420
Effective Rent (Total) = Total Cash Flows/ Total SF
= 2100000/100000 = 21 per SF
NOTE: It is assumed that $50,000 moving allowance and $150,000 in tenant improvements paid every year by Atrium to ACME. If assumed that they are one time payment then PV will be:-
| Year | Rate | SF | Cash Flow | PV Factor | PV | 
| 0 | - | - | -50000 | 1 | -50000 | 
| 0 | - | - | -150000 | 1 | -150000 | 
| 1 | 29 | 20000 | 580000 | 0.909 | 527220 | 
| 2 | 30 | 20000 | 600000 | 0.826 | 495600 | 
| 3 | 31 | 20000 | 620000 | 0.751 | 465620 | 
| 4 | 32 | 20000 | 640000 | 0.683 | 437120 | 
| 5 | 33 | 20000 | 660000 | 0.621 | 409860 | 
| Present Value | 2135420 | ||||
Answer to part c)
| Year | Rate | SF | Cash Flow | PV Factor | PV | 
| 1 | 23 | 20000 | 460000 | 0.909 | 418140 | 
| 2 | 23 | 20000 | 460000 | 0.826 | 379960 | 
| 3 | 23 | 20000 | 460000 | 0.751 | 345460 | 
| 4 | 23 | 20000 | 460000 | 0.683 | 314180 | 
| 4 | 15 | 20000 | 300000 | 0.683 | 204900 | 
| Present Value | 1662640 | ||||
Present Value = $ 1662640
Effective Rent (Total) = Total Cash Flows/ Total SF
= 2140000/80000 = 26.75 per SF
