Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 907901, member: 78"] Quick and dirty calculation Assumptions NPV 100,000,000 discount rate 10% Number of years 30 That means that the operator of the dome would need to make $10.6 million a year (not revenue but cash after expenses) to break even. big numbers obviously sensitive to discount rate. at 5% (absurdly low btw), the breakeven yearly cash flow is 6.5 million. I think people are making a mistake by assuming that just because the developer only puts up 20% of the cost of the thing, that must mean the cash flows are there to justify the 20%. i think if COR is willing to assume that much cash rolling in a year, there must be some arrangements we don't know about. I'm having trouble finding good numbers but i found a link that says that rent for Nationals Park in DC is about 5 million a year. (doesn't count expenses) [/QUOTE]
