Instruction on how to record Property

For property, when a player lands on the 'PROPERTY' tile, he can choose to purchase the property or pass. If a player purchase a property, he needs to record it down under the "Cost of property" under the 'PROPERTY' table on the recording list provided. During the game, if he happens to pick an 'OPPORTUNITIES' card with "Property for condominium rises to $1 million. Player can choose to sell their condominium property or retain"; this means that player has the right to sell their property off to the bank at $1 million or give a pass hoping for a better offer in the future. If the player choose to sell his property, he has to record it down under "Selling price of property" under the 'PROPERTY' table.

Steps to calculate the gain/loss of property are:

Step 1: Determine the cost price.
For e.g. the cost of a condominium property = $90,000
Step 2: Determine the selling price.
Selling price of a condominium property = $1 million
Step 3: Find gain/(loss).
Gain/(Loss) = Selling price - Cost price
= $1,000,000 - $90,000
= $10,000 (Gain)

Government Bonds

When a player lands on the “Government Bond” tile, he can buy the bond at the amount shown on the tile or pass.

For example, if the tile shows:

Pay rate of $50,000, returns 5%, period 3 years.

Step 1: $50,000 x 5%= $2,500 (per period)

Step 2: 1 period= 1 round. Therefore, 3 periods will be 3 rounds and you will receive a total of $7,500 ($2,500 x 3). $2,500 at each turn.

Step 3: You will receive the pay rate, $50,000 at the end of the 3^rd round. In all you should have received $57,500.

All this should be recorded down in the recording list for easy reference.

Amount ($): 50000

Rate of Return (%): 5%

Maturity Period: 3 yearr

Total Amount: ($50000+($2500 x 3)) = $57500
