USING EXCEL CAPITAL BUDGETING MONTH BY MONTH There’s a piece of land (0.44 acres) on sale just off Kennedy Blvd, and you are thinking about buying the land, developing it into an office building and eventually selling it. The seller of the land asked for $600,000. The general contractor says that he can develop it for you and build the office in just one year. You plan to do a month-by-month capital budgeting and see if you should proceed with this investment. If you buy the land today, your cost is the price of the land plus 2% fee for titling, real estate broker, etc. Starting in month 1, your general contractor will take care of the rest, including site development and construction. He asks for $40,000 per month for everything. After 12 months, the building will be done and you will try to sell it for $2 million. Your income tax rate is 33%. You also agree to pay 5% to your real estate agent when it’s sold. The appropriate discount rate for this project is 8% annually.
