    Hi! Please provide me the correct answer for this question..

    A business owns some land that could be sold for $1 million and which cost $800,000 two years ago.
    Alternatively, the land could have apartments build on it for a present cost of $5 million. The
    apartments would bring in rent of $550,000 pa in perpetuity from time 1 onwards.
    Discount rate = 10%
    What is the NPV of the project?

    Is my answer correct?

    NPV of taking on the project of building the apartment instead of selling =
    -5000000 (Present cost)
    -1000000 (Opp cost of not selling the land now)
    +5500000 (550000 x 1/0.10)
    = -500000 therefore the project shouldn’t be taken on.
    Obviously the 800000 cost two years ago is a sunk/past one & hence irrelevant.
