Transcribed Image Text:4. A company wanting to build a hotel in downtown St. John's needs to buy two ad-
jacent properties. The appraised values for Properties 1 and 2 are $1,000,000, and
$2,600,000 respectively. They can try to buy these properties (by making separate
offers to the two owners) for 50% more than the appraised value, for which there is
a 75% chance that the owner of Property 1 would agree to sell, and an 80% chance
that the owner of Property 2 would agree to sell. If an offer at 1.5 times appraised
value is turned down, they could then offer double the appraised value for that prop-
erty, for which it is certain that the owner (of either property) would agree to sell.
Ending up with no properties is worth nothing; ending up with just one property
is worth only the appraised value of that one property; ending up owning both is
worth $6,000,000.
(a) Given that at the outset any offer to buy would be made to both owners simulta-
neously, draw a decision tree to determine what the hotel developer should do.
(Hint: You might find it easier to imbed all costs at the end.)
(b) Determine the EVPI by any method.

- Which of the following were listed as potential Problems or Issues associated with Using a Rate of Return Approach to justifying single or multiple Mutually Exclusive projects? Note: This is a Multiple Answer question. Please select all of the following options you think are correct? O The ROR calculations are typically more complex than the PW, AW, or FW methods and frequently require the use of trial and error techniques. O You cannot rely on the best Mutually Exclusive project to have the highest ROR. O An incremental approach is required to reliably determine the best project when comparing multiple Mutually Exclusive projects with the ROR approach. O This method assumes that any net positive cash flows are reinvested at the ROR rate. If the ROR rate is substantially larger than MARR, this might not be a realistic assumption. OFor any sequence of Net Cash Flows with more than one sign chance over the life of the project there may be more than one ROR value that satisfies the Rate…arrow_forwardWhich best defines Market Value?
