Cost Comparison Analysis

Introduction

 


This analysis of four alternatives for satisfying a user need for space was prepared using planEASe software, given the following specifications.

Since the analysis involves after tax benefits for two of the leases and the purchase, we decided to perform the analysis after tax, assuming a 34% corporate tax rate for the client (planEASe performs analysis before tax as well, where appropriate). We also assumed the client has a 10% after tax Cost of Capital. To establish a common time frame for the analysis, we decided to use 10 years, ignoring the 11th year for Whale Point.

We assumed that the meaning of the 3% annual increases for the 1000 Ocean Blvd. lease meant that it was tied to the CPI, and expected to be 3%. This 3% Inflation Rate was also used for the growth in Utilities & Taxes for the Beach Overlook purchase. No assumption was given for the reversionary value of the Beach Overlook purchase, so we assumed that its value would increase at the 3% Inflation Rate as well, and tested this major assumption at the conclusion of the analysis when we compared the alternatives while varying the Inflation Rate.

Throughout the assumptions for all four alternatives, you will find that what would normally be expenses are instead entered as negative revenues. The end results are the same using either method, but using negative revenues is recommended because it allows you to view the expenses planned using the planEASe Lease Analysis capability, although that reporting is not necessary (or shown) for these simple leases.

You may wonder about the color presentation in this report package. planEASe is shipped with many page "styles" (this one is called "Influential") that allow you to present your planEASe reports in pre-defined colors and fonts. You may choose any of these styles before printing, and all the reports and graphs will use that style until you choose another. Of course, you may exercise your creativity at any time by easily defining your own styles, choosing (and saving) your own choices of colors and fonts as your own style.

We maintain an extensive website at www.planease.com, describing the product, the many classes constantly scheduled throughout the nation, and many tutorials available 24/7 to support the product. For instance, if you click on Tutorials/Presentation/color Printing at the website, you will find a full screen-by-screen tutorial telling you how to save your own styles.

planEASe measures NPV's using a mid-year convention for placing the Cash Flows in time. This is explained in the NPV Verification Report on the last page of this package. If you care to verify our calculations using EXCEL, be sure to use the new XNPV function that allows unequal time periods.

Other than the NPV Verification Report mentioned above, all the reports in this package (these pages as well) were prepared by planEASe plus the Reporting Extension, priced at $1,395. No additional software (other than Windows itself) is required. Additional capabilities (adding Advanced Graphs, Monthly Analysis and Partnership (or LLC) Models) are available at additional cost.
