7) Professional fees (latest Gazetted Tariffs discounted to
total escalated construction cost plus VAT)
8) Equity available
9) Method of finance (based on Total Capital Outlay)
10) Bond interest rate during construction
11) Owners equity will be provided through loan account during construction \& 5\% p.a (pre trading)

13) Lettable office space (\(90\%\) efficient RA/CA)\(9200\mathrm{~m}^{2}\)
14) Covered parking within basement (\(28\mathrm{~m}^{2}\) per bay)300 bays
15) Gross office opening rental (Excl VAT)(5 year lease term)
\(\mathrm{m}^{2}/\) month
16) Gross covered opening parking rental (Excl VAT)
R \(135/\mathrm{m}^{2}/\) month
R \(450/\mathrm{bay}/\) month
17) Average annual occupancy rate (including parking)\(99\%\)
18) Annual escalation in rentals
19) Annual escalation in operating expenditure
Note: assume rentals revert to market and escalate at the same rate as the contractual rentals
20) Useful life of the project
20 years
21) Residual value of the building (Future Value) equal to Total Capital Outlay
22) Bond raising fee
23) Assessment rates (rates and taxes) during construction (Excl VAT) R 19000/ month (foxed during pre-trading, then escalating \& \(9\%\) p.a thereafter)

You are required to:
Familiarize yourself with all tax issues pertinent to this study, and collectany additional information you feel is required to complete this study.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
No further income, expenditure, capital cost or allowances are required to be added to the data provided
1) Report on the total construction cost
2) Calculate the ventures Weighted Average Cost of Capital
3) Calculate the residual land value giving a targeted ROI of 11\%
4) Conduct a comprehensive cash flow analysis of the project and compute the NPV and IRR's for the project.
(The cash flow analysis must clearly show:
- All cash inflows and outflows
- Tax calculations
- Any other items you feel may be of importance)
5) A sensitivity analysis of each of the following variance factors (\(5\%,10\%\) and \(20\%\) above and below current):
- Bond Rate during construction
- Land cost
- Building cost
- Annual escalation in rental for 6,7,8,10, and 11\%
- Gross rental income
- Professional fees
- Equity
Discuss which of the above factors should be given special attention.
6) Recommendations for the feasibility of the project with substantiated reasoning.
