Please double check I read the question correctly
For the following problem
******************
Land is bought for $45000 with buying expenses of $2180, and interest rate is 9% p.a. The land is kept for 4 years with annual costs of $500, and sold for $105000 at the end of the 4th year (selling expenses are $5000).
***********************
I assume that the the cash flow time line is
-45000,-500,-500,-500,99500
Since I assume the annual costs come at the end of each year.
Just missed a little detail
The cash flow timeline is almost correct. However, for year 0, the buying expenses shouldn't have been neglected.
The timeline should be:
Year 0: -45000 - 2180 = -47180
Year 1: -500
Year 2: -500
Year 3: -500
Year 4: -500 + 105000 - 5000 = 99500
