(25 pts) Your corporation is considering the purchase of land for the cost of $60,000 and you estimate that 6 years from now there is a 100% probability to sell the land for $165,000. Holding costs consist of property taxes of $2000 each year. Assume that your corporation is in the 21% effective ordinary tax bracket and that profit from the sale of the land in 6 years will be taxed as ordinary income (ignore capital gain taxes, depreciation, deduction for interest expense), and your minimum rate of return is 14%. Determine:

a) What is the return on investment and NPV if paying cash for the land?

b) What is the return on investment and NPV if you borrowed $48,000 of the $60,000 at 8% interest per year with a mortgage agreement that provides monthly payments over 10 years. Assume the loan is paid off at the end of year 6 when you sell the property.

c) Is this an acceptable investment project and why?

d) Suppose that upon further analysis, there is an 85% probability that the land will sell for $200,000 at the end of year 6. What is the resulting cash and leverage NPV & ROR?

e) How does the analysis change; and is it still an acceptable project and why?

All answers should be calculated in excel

-I thought I had it figured out but my answers look ridiculous! Any help would be deeply appreciated!
