Based on the case The Green Duplex, please answer the following questions:
1) What are Sean’s goals for this project? How will he know if he has achieved these goals?
2) What makes this project green? Why is there uncertainty about this? How much additional cost does building green add to the project?
3) Evaluate Sean’s approach to decision-making. What has he done well? What has he done less well?
4) How could Sean provide more structure to the decision on which wall technology to use?
5) How should Sean determine the appropriate rent for the duplex? Given the information in this case, is $800 a reasonable rent to expect from this unit?
6) What is the return (IRR) that Sean will achieve on the Lunsford Street duplex if his assumption are correct? Assume he sells the duplex after 20 years and that the capital gains tax is 15 percent at that time. How sensitive is this return to deviations in the assumptions that Sean has made? Are Sean’s actual results consistent with these assumptions?
7) What is your estimate of the IRR of Sean’s proposed green duplex on Tamarack St? What are the most significant uncertainties associated with these estimates?
8) What would you recommend Sean do with respect to building green? Why?
