Final answer:
The terminal value of the property at the end of a five-year holding period is calculated by dividing the NOI for year 6, which is $102,000, by the cap rate of 9%. The result is $1,133,333, which means answer C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The terminal value of a property is typically calculated using a cap rate and the property's Net Operating Income (NOI) at the point of sale. For this student's question, we must calculate the value at the end of year 5 because it's the end of the estimated holding period.
The formula for calculating terminal value is:
Terminal Value = NOI of next year / Cap Rate
In this case, the NOI for year 6 is given as $102,000 and the cap rate is 9% (expressed as 0.09 in decimal form). Thus, the calculation would be:
Terminal Value = $102,000 / 0.09
Let's do the math:
Terminal Value = $102,000 / 0.09
Terminal Value = $1,133,333.33
Therefore, the correct answer to the student's question is C. $1,133,333.
