Calculating cost-covering rent
The last topic in this chapter is about cost-covering rent, or CCR for short. This is the answer to the question: what is the minimum rent to charge property tenants to make the investment break even?
Let's go back to the NPV formula once again:
The IRR is calculated by solving this formula for the rate r at zero NPV:
The cost-covering rent also comes from solving the NPV formula, but now for (roughly) the future values:
To be more precise, while our future values are composed of multiple components, we only want to solve for the (initial) recurring positive cash flows in this case. The question is therefore: instead of the positive recurring cash flows in the fPosCashFlows
table, and specifically those with Type
2 (rent), which values can we use to get a zero NPV?
Like with the IRR, there is no direct way of calculating this. And worse, there is no DAX function that will solve this equation. We therefore need...
