- 45 percent
- 55 percent
- 60 percent
- 65 percent
Solution:
As per Town and Country Planning Act, for developing residential layouts, the maximum site area approval is 55%.
1 Acre = 4046.86 Acre
Area of land, i.e. 2.50 x 4046.86 = 10117.05 sq. m.
Hence net available area for plots development is 10117.05 Sqm x 0.55 = 5564.37 sq.m.
Hence total sale value of the land in developed stage in Hypothetical market is
i.e. 5564.37 x 35000 = Rs. 19,47,52,950/- (A)
Total Development cost is 15% Rs.2,92,12,942/-
Developers Profit 20% Rs. 3,89,50,590/-
Therefore, cost of expenses for developments is Rs. 6,81,63,532/- (B)
Net value of the land in this undeveloped stage is (A-B) = Rs. 12,65,89,418/-

Q41. As fair investment in real estate (REITs) is concerned———- is very difficult.

Hedge against inflation becomes the most difficult aspect when dealing with REITS.
Generating income: REITs are specifically designed to generate income for investors through regular dividends, making this relatively easy.
Getting capital from the bank: REITs are tradable securities, so loans can
often be secured using them as collateral.
Divisibility of holding: REITs are highly divisible, as they are bought and sold like shares, allowing investors to invest smaller amounts.
Hedge against inflation: This is more challenging with REITs compared to
direct real estate investments, as the performance of REITs can be influenced by market volatility and interest rates, which don’t always align with inflation trends.

Solution A.
The sinking fund amount is calculated by using formula R/((1+R)^n-1)
Solution B.
Instalment amount = Future Amount x R/((1 + R)^n-1) =5000*0.04/((1+0.04)^15-1) =Rs.250/-
Solution C.
Instalment amount = Future Amount x R/((1 + R)^n-1) =5000*0.04/((1+0.04)^9-1) =Rs.472.46
