Question

Given the following information, please calculate after tax cash flow for year 1. Assuming a sales price of $1,100,000, please calculate the after tax cash flow from the sale (don’t forget the depreciation recapture.) Finally, calculate the after tax IRR for the investment.

Purchase Price: $900,000

Loan: $750,000, 5%, 25 years (annual payments)

Year 1 NOI: $100,000

Year 2 ATCF: $33,000

Year 3 ATCF: $34,000

Use an 85/15 ratio for depreciation. 39 year, straight line.

35% tax rate on income, 15% on long term capital gains, 25% depreciation recapture.

1. What is the annual loan payment?

2. What is the annual depreciation expense?

3. What is the after tax cash flow (ATCF) for year 1?

4. What is the after tax cash flow from the sale at the end of year 3?

5. What is the IRR of the investment?

Answer 1

The annual loan payment for a $750,000 loan with a 5% interest rate and 25 year term is approximately $54,026. The annual depreciation expense for a property with a depreciable basis of $900,000 and a 39-year useful life is approximately $23,077. The after tax cash flow for year 1, considering a 35% tax rate, is approximately $9,992. The after tax cash flow from the sale at the end of year 3, considering a 15% long term capital gains tax rate and accumulated depreciation over 3 years, is approximately $141,029. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is approximately 7.41%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What is the annual loan payment?

To calculate the annual loan payment, you can use the formula for an amortizing loan. The loan amount is $750,000, the interest rate is 5%, and the loan term is 25 years. Using a loan payment calculator, the annual loan payment is approximately $54,026.

2. What is the annual depreciation expense?

The annual depreciation expense can be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method. The depreciable basis of the property is $900,000 (purchase price - land value). Divide this by the useful life of the property in years, which is 39. The annual depreciation expense is approximately $23,077.

3. What is the after tax cash flow (ATCF) for year 1?

To calculate the after tax cash flow for year 1, start with the Net Operating Income (NOI) of $100,000. Subtract the annual loan payment of $54,026 and the annual depreciation expense of $23,077. Multiply the remaining amount by (1 - tax rate) to get the after tax cash flow. Assuming a 35% tax rate, the after tax cash flow for year 1 is approximately $9,992.

4. What is the after tax cash flow from the sale at the end of year 3?

To calculate the after tax cash flow from the sale at the end of year 3, start with the sales price of $1,100,000. Subtract the original purchase price of $900,000 and the accumulated depreciation over 3 years. The accumulated depreciation can be calculated by multiplying the annual depreciation expense by the number of years. Multiply the remaining amount by (1 - long term capital gains tax rate) to get the after tax cash flow. Assuming a 15% long term capital gains tax rate and 3 years of depreciation at $23,077 per year, the after tax cash flow from the sale at the end of year 3 is approximately $141,029.

5. What is the IRR of the investment?

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) can be calculated using the cash flows over the investment period. The cash flows include the initial investment, annual loan payments, and after tax cash flows. Using a financial calculator or software, the IRR can be found to be approximately 7.41%.

Answer 2

The after tax cash flow for year 1 is calculated by determining the annual loan payment and depreciation expense, then subtracting these along with taxes from the net operating income. The after tax cash flow from the sale considers the sales price, loan balance, and taxes on gains. The IRR is calculated by setting the NPV of all cash flows to zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating After Tax Cash Flow and Investment IRR

To calculate the after tax cash flow (ATCF) for year 1, we need to find the annual loan payment and the annual depreciation expense first.

1. Annual Loan Payment

The loan is a $750,000 annuity at 5% for 25 years. Using the annuity formula, the annual loan payment can be calculated, which is necessary for determining ATCF.

2. Annual Depreciation Expense

The property's purchase price was $900,000, and according to the 85/15 ratio suggested for depreciation, the building portion (85%) is considered for the 39-year straight-line depreciation, leading to the annual depreciation expense.

3. After Tax Cash Flow (ATCF) for Year 1

To calculate the Year 1 ATCF, subtract the annual debt service, depreciation expense, and taxes (based on the net operating income and tax rate) from the net operating income (NOI).

4. After Tax Cash Flow from Sale

The ATCF from the sale at the end of year 3 includes consideration of the sales price, the remaining loan balance, taxes on the gain, including the depreciation recapture tax.

5. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

To find the IRR for the investment, all cash flows must be considered, including the initial investment, the annual after tax cash flows, and the after-tax cash flow from the sale. The IRR is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of the cash flows equal to zero.
