His alternatives are as follows: a. Keep the property. Martinas's accountant has kept careful records of the income realized from the property over the past 10 years. These records indicate the following annual revenues and expenses: Martinas makes a \\$14,225 mortgage payment each year on the property. The mortgage will be paid off in eight more years. He has been depreciating the building by the straight-line method. assuming a salvage value of \\( \\$ 85,350 \\) for the building. Which he stili thinks is an appropriate figure. He feels sure that the building can be rented for another 15 years. He also feels sure that 15 years from now the land will be worth three times what he paid for it. b. Sell the property. A realty company has offered to purchase the property by paying \\( \\$ 226,000 \\) immediately and \\( \\$ 32,000 \\) per year for the next 15 years. Control of the property would go to the realty company immediately.
