As part of the review, Tang asks Rodriguez to evaluate financing alternatives to determine if it would be better to use debt financing or to make an all cash purchase. Tang directs Rodriguez to inquire about terms with Richmond Life Insurance Company, a publicly traded company, which is an active lender on commercial real estate property. Rodriquez obtains the following information from Richmond Life for a loan on Property #1: loan term of 5 years, interest rate of 5.75% interest-only, maximum loan to value of 75%, and minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.5x.After reviewing her research materials, Rodriguez formulates the following two conclusions:Conclusion 1Benefits of private equity real estate investments include owners’ ability to attain diversification benefits, to earn current income, and to achieve tax benefits.Conclusion 2Risk factors of private equity real estate investments include business conditions, demographics, the cost of debt and equity capital, and financial leverage.
Compared with an all-cash purchase, a mortgage on Property 1 through Richmond Life would most likely result in Delphinus earning:
Option A:a lower return on equity.
Option B:a higher return on equity.
Option C:the same return on equity.

Answer: B
