Paying monthly rent is a painful experience and in this way he cannot
save much for his future needs. Therefore, he is planning to purchase his own
house for avoiding monthly rental expense. For this purpose he is expecting to
sell share in his native house for Rs. 1,500,000/- which is not a sufficient
amount to buy house in a big city. After considering various areas in
Faisalabad city, he chose Model Town for his desired future residency. Based
on the house prices data in that area, he learned that an average two bed room
house currently costs Rs.2,400,000/-. So he has to set aside some funds for the
next eight years so that he may be able to purchase his own house after having
sufficient funds.
As Mr. Naeem is planning to purchase the house after eight years, so it is
quite clear that the prices of the houses will not remain the same overtime. In
order to estimate the rate at which the house price will increase he considered
the historical price appreciation data in that area and resulted that house prices
appreciated at the rate of 4% per annum.
Mr. Naeem is planning to invest the funds that will be devoted for purchasing
the house, in a portfolio of investment. He feels that this investment portfolio
containing stocks, bonds and govt. securities will give him the rate of return of
9% p.a.
