Example 2: An office building was purchased for $1,400,000. The value of depreciable 
improvements is $1,200,000 with a 35 year economic life. Straight line depreciation will 
be used. The property is financed with a $1,050,000 loan. The terms of the loan are 9.5% 
interest and $9,173.81 monthly payments for 25 years. The office building generates a 
Potential Gross Income of $175,200 which grows at a 3.5% annual rate. The operating 
cost is $40,296.00 with a 1.6% annual growth rate. Assuming a Marginal Tax Rate of 
50% and a vacancy rate of 7%, what are the After-Tax Cash Flows for the first 5 years?
