Homework SourseA store has 5 years remaining on its lease in a mall Rent is
A store has 5 years remaining on its lease in a mall. Rent is $2,100 per month, 60 payments remain, and the next payment is due in 1 month. The mall\'s owner plans to sell the property in a year and wants rent at that time to be high so that the property will appear more valuable. Therefore, the store has been offered a \"great deal\" (owner\'s words) on a new 5-year lease. The new lease calls for no rent for 9 months, then payments of $2,500 per month for the next 51 months. The lease cannot be broken, and the store\'s WACC is 12% (or 1% per month) The store owner is not sure of the 12% WACC-it could be higher or lower. At what nominal WACC would the store owner be indifferent between the two leases? (Hint: Calculate the differences between the two payment streams; then find its IRR.) Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Solution
IRR=0.257% per month or 3.0866% annually
