Real Estate Financing Investment Analysis
Case #4 (Fall 2020)
Investment Analysis for Hospitality Real Estate Project
The SHA Hospitality Corp. (SHAHC) plans to purchase a plot of land priced at $300,000 (NOW)
to develop a profitable hospitality real estate project. The SHAHC’s managers are considering a
select service hotel development -Kenmore Hotel. The SHAHC’s business plan is described
below.
With regard to the Kenmore Hotel development option, the managers
have projected the following:
• The hotel would have 200 rooms and be open 365 days a year. It would cost
$9,000,000 tobuild and $2,000,000 for FF & E.Land preparation would cost an
additional $220,000 and $40,000 for FF&E transportation and installation
respectively.
• The building and FF & E will be depreciated over the 25 years and 6 years respectively,
using the straight-line depreciation.
• Operating the hotel will require an investment in working capital of $120,000 (I0),
$200,000 for initial inventory purchase.
• All existing FF/E (OLD) can be sold for $100,000 which is recorded at $50,000 (book
value) if a new hotel project is ready to operate.
• At the end of the ten years, when the management plans to sell the hotel, the estimated
sales price will be approximated by assuming that the after-tax operating cash flow from
year ten onward will stay the same forever (that is, it will be a perpetuity). The present
value of these future after-tax operating cash flows at year ten will be equal to the fair
market value of the hotel. 6% of Brokerage fees (selling expense) will be applied for
this sales transaction.
• Demand forecasts for ROOM REVENUE indicate that room occupancy rates will be
75% for the first three years, 78% for the next five years (years four through eight),
and 80% in years nine and ten. The average daily room rate is expected to be $90.00
the first year and is expected to increase at a rate of 5% annually. Room operating
expenses are estimated to be 30% of room revenues for the first two years and 35% of
room revenues every year thereafter.
• Telephone sales are estimated to be 5% of room revenues. Telephone expenses are
estimated to be 70% of telephone revenues.
• Other operating revenue is expected to be earned at the rate of 1% of room revenues.
Other operating expenses are estimated to be 60% of other operating revenues.
• Administrative & general expenses are estimated to be 8% of totalsalesfor the first
year and this amount is expected to increase by 5% per year through year ten.

• Marketing and sales expenses are estimated to be 5% of total sales for the first year
and this amount is expected to increase by 6% per year through year ten.
• Energy expenses are estimated to be 8% of total sales for the first year and this
amount is expected to increase by 9% per year through year ten.
• Property Maintenance expenses are estimated to be 4% of totalsalesfor the first year
and this amount is expected to increase by 8% per year through year ten.
The SHAHC has currently set an optimal capital structure (CSR) that is 50% common
equity, 20% debt (Bond), 30% Bank Loan, and no preferred stock issuance. The marginal
tax rate is 40%. Currently, $ 1,200,000 of retained earnings balance is available for
SHAHC to finance this hotel project in addition to the following financing sources for the
WACC.
• SHAHC just received the loan commitment letter from the Cheapy bank in town,
having specified LTC, 30% at the prime +350 basis points for 20-year term loan,
given current economic environment, plus origination fee of 2% and closing fee
of 3%. (current prime rate is 4.5%)
• SHAHC can issue $1,000 par value bond with a 8% coupon rate to $950 before
issuance (flotation) cost of 9% for the SHAPR project. The bonds mature in 10
years and coupon payments are paid semi-annually.
• SHAHC failed to persuade Preferred stock shareholders and no preferred stock
equity financing available for this project.
• SHAHC generated net income of $600,000 and its dividend payout ratio is 40%.
There are currently 100,000 shares outstanding and common stock can be sold at
a $20 price. Dividends have been growing at an annual compound rate of 6%
annually. Floatation costs will be an 5% of newly issued common shares if
necessary.
• SHAHC’s expected return for this project is based on the current market
analysis: a beta of this type of project is 1.4, risk-free rate is3%and the
expected market risk premium (MRP) on the market portfolio is 9%.
