Richard Rambo presently owns the Marine Tower office building, which is 20 years old, and is considering renovating it. He purchased the property two years ago for $800,000 and financed it with a 20-year, 75 percent loan at 4.5 percent interest (monthly payments). Of the $800,000, the appraiser indicated that the land was worth $200,000 and the building $600,000. Rambo has been using straight-line depreciation over 39 years (1/39 per year for simplicity). At the present time Marine Tower is producing $52,000 in NOI, and the NOI and property value are expected to increase 2 percent per year. The current market value of the property is $820,000. Rambo estimates that if the Marine Tower office building is renovated at a cost of $200,000, NOI will be about 20 percent higher next year ($62,400 vs. $52,000) due to higher rents and lower expenses. He also expects that with the renovation the NOI will increase 3 percent per year instead of 2 percent. Furthermore, Rambo believes that after five…
Wooden Box, Corp. bought land on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon for its factory in 1912 for $10,000. The company built the factory for $100,000 and the building was fully depreciated, torn down and replaced for $350,000 about fifteen years ago, and is now right in the heart of a rehabilitation zone in the city (the city grew around it). Recently an investor approached Wooden Box, Corp. and offered to buy the factory and land for $4,000,000 because it could be turned into loft apartments. The investor presented a bone fide written offer with earnest money, but the board of the Wooden Box, Corp. refused the offer. Assuming the building was being depreciated straight-line over 30 years with a $50,000 salvage value, accumulated depreciation would now be about $150,000. What is the definition of fair market value, and how does it apply to this situation? How should the building and land be shown on the balance sheet? What principle are you following in your recommendation? Do you think…

Claude purchased raw land three years ago for $1,000,000 to develop into lots and sell to individuals planning to build their dream homes. Claude intended to treat this property as inventory, like his other development properties. Before completing the development of the property, however, he decided to contribute it to South Peak Investors LLC when it was worth $3,000,000, in exchange for a 10 percent capital and profits interest. South Peak’s strategy is to hold land for investment purposes only and then sell it later at a gain. a. If South Peak sells the property for $3,110,000 four years after Claude’s contribution, how much gain or loss is recognized, and what is its character? [Hint: See §724.] [capital gain/loss or Ordinary gain/loss] b. If South Peak sells the property for $3,110,000 five and one-half years after Claude’s contribution, how much gain or loss is recognized, and what is its character?

Carsonpaid $2 million for Royal Oaks two years ago, with the land representing approximately $200,000 of that value. A recent appraisal indicated that the property is worth about $2.2 million today. When purchased two years ago, Carson financed the property with a 70 percent mortgage at 10 percent interest for 25 years (monthly payments). The property is being depreciated over 27.5 years (1/27.5 per year for simplicity). Effective gross income during the next year is expected to be $350,000, and operating expenses are projected to be 40 percent of effective gross income. Carson expects effective gross income to increase by 3 percent per year. The propertyvalue is expected to increase at the same 3 percent annual…
