Zenith Investment Company is considering the purchase of an office property. It has done an extensive market analysis and has estimated that based on current market supply/demand relationships, rents, and its estimate of operating expenses, annual NOI will be as follows: Year NOI NMnV00 $1,000,000 1,000,000 1,000,000 1,200,000 1,250,000 1,300,000 1,339,000 1,379,170 A market that is currently oversupplied is expected to result in cash flows remaining flat for the next three years at $1,000,000. During years 4, 5, and 6, market rents are expected to be higher. It is further expected that beginning in year 7 and every year thereafter, NOI will tend to reflect a stable, balanced market and should grow at 3 percent per year indefinitely. Zenith believes that investors should earn a 12 percent return (1) on an investment of this kind. a. Assuming that the investment is expected to produce NOI in years 1-8 and is expected to be owned for seven years and then sold, what would be the value for this property today? (Hint: Begin by estimating the reversion value at the end of year 7. Recall that the expected IRR = 12% and the growth rate (g) in year 8 and beyond is estimated to remain level at 3%.) b. What would the terminal capitalization rate (RT) be at the end of year 7? c. What would the "going-in" capitalization rate (R) be based on year 1 NOI
