Use the following to answer questions 12-13:
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Cedar Hill Hospital needs to expand its facilities and desires to obtain a new
building on a piece of property adjacent to its present location. Two options are available to Cedar Hill, as follows:
Option 1: Buy the property, erect the building, and install the fixtures at a total cost of P600,000. This
cost
would be paid off in five installments: an immediate payment of P200,000, and a payment of
P100,000 at
the end of each of the next four years. The annual cash operating costs associated with
the new facilities are
estimated to be P12,000 per year. The new facilities would be occupied for
thirteen years, and would
have a total resale value of P300,000 at the end of the 13-year period.
Option 2: A leasing company would buy the property and construct the new facilities for Cedar Hill which
would then be leased back to Cedar Hill at an annual lease cost of P70,000. The lease period would
run
for 13 years, with each payment being due at the BEGINNING of the year. Additionally, the
company
would require an immediate P10,000 security deposit, which would be returned to Cedar Hill at the end of the
13-year period. Finally, Cedar Hill would have to pay the annual maintenance
cost of the facilities, which is
estimated to be P4,000 per year. There would be no resale value at the end of the 13-year period under this
option.
The hospital uses a discount rate of 14% and the total-cost approach to net present value analysis in evaluating its
investment decisions.
