Question: Consider an apartment property development project A . Developer D will invest $ 3 0 M now at t = 0 , spend one year

Consider an apartment property development project A. Developer D will invest $30M now at t=0, spend one year on construction, hold the completed property for one year between year t=1 and t=2, and sell the property at year t=2.
The total development cost is $80M, but D will make two payments to the general contractor: $40M at year t=0 and the remaining $40M at year t=0.5. D will put $30M equity at t=0. The remaining cost is funded with a construction loan at 6% per annum (one-year loan with two draws at year t=0 and year t=0.5(month 6)). Interests are accrued monthly until the maturity at t=1.
At the completion of property A at t=1, D will arrange a one-year, zero-coupon, non-recourse, bridge loan (Loan B) collateralized by property A until t=2. The face value is $95M (The loan contract states that D should repay $95M at t=2). Part of this bridge loan will be used to pay off the construction loan. Interest accrual is annual.
At t=1, the value of property A will be $100M. At t=2, the property value, which includes operating cash flows between t=1 and t=2, will be worth either $117M with a probability of 0.4 or $93M with a probability of 0.6.
Debt
1. What is the construction loan due at t=1?
$ M
2. Consider a one-year, zero-coupon, riskless loan, with a face value of $95M, originated at t=1(The only payment that the lender will receive is $95M at t =2). The riskless rate of return is 1% per year, which accrues annually. What is the value of this riskless loan at t=1?
$ M
3. Consider the bridge loan B that was explained above. What is the bridge loan lenders payoff in each state of nature at t=2?(Hint: D promises to pay $95M at t=2 but may strategically default on the loan.)
$ M if the property value is 117;
$ M if the property value is 93
4. What is the amount that Loan Bs lender will forgive (i.e., the payoff to the borrowers default option) in each state of nature at t=2?(Hint: The lender has to forgive the difference between the promised payment and the collateral value.)
$ M if the property value is 117;
$ M if the property value is 93
5. The value (i.e., premium) of the borrowers default option for Loan B is $1.32M at t=1.
What is the value of Loan B at t=1? This amount will be the loan amount that Developer D will receive at t=1 from the Bridge loan lender.
$ M
6. What is the YTM and credit spread for Loan B?
YTM is % and the credit spread is %
(Hint: The credit spread is the difference in YTM between a credit-risky loan and a riskless loan. The YTM is the IRR on the basis of the promised payment.)
7. What is the expected rate of return and the risk premium to Loan B?
The expected rate of return is % and the risk premium is %.
(Hint: The expected rate of return is based on the expected payoff in the future. The risk premium is the difference in the expected return between a credit-risky loan and a riskless loan.)
Equity
8. How much can Developer D extract cash out of the project A at t=1 after the refinancing? (This amount will be transferred to Ds personal account and not remain in Project A.)
$ M
9. What is Property As equity payoff in for each state of nature at t=2? At t=2, the property will be sold at the market price, and Loan B will be paid off. The equity payoff equals sales proceeds less loan repayment.
$ M if the property value is 117;
$ M if the property value is 93
10. What is the value of the equity at t=1?
$ M (Hint: There are two methods to calculate the equity value.)
Method 1: Recall the simple method based on the Modigliani-Miller Theorem:
(Property value at t=1)=(Debt value at t=1)+(Equity value at t=1).
Method 2: The equity DCF based on the expected rate of return to the equity that will be calculated in Q10.
11. What is the expected rate of return to equity between t=1 and t=2?
%
(Hint: If you already calculated the equity value in Q9, you can simply calculate the expected rate of return. Alternatively, if you want to first calculate the expected rate of return to equity, you can use the WACC formula.)
12. Compare the present value of equity with the present value of the following asset portfolio: a long (+) property, a short (-) riskless debt, and a long (+) default option. Should they be equal or different?
The PV of equity is $ M (copied from Q10).
The PV Portfolio: Property value ($100M) Riskless debt ($ M copied from Q2)+ Default Option ($1.32Mcopied from Q5)= $ M.
These two values should be {equal / different}. Pls show work
