A development corporation purchased land that will be the site of a new luxury condominium complex. Management is considering a six month market research study designed to learn more about potential
market acceptance of the condominium project. Management anticipates that, if conducted, the market research study will provide one of the following two results.

1. Favorable report (F): A significant number of the individuals contacted express interest in purchasing a condominium.
2. Unfavorable report (U): Very few of the individuals contacted express interest in purchasing a condominium.

After deciding whether to conduct the market research study, they have the following two decision alternatives.

Following this, a chance event concerning the demand for the condominiums has two states of nature.

The payoff table showing profit is as follows.

A real estate investor has the opportunity to purchase land currently zoned residential. If the county board approves a request to rezone the property as commercial within the next year, the investor will be
able to lease the land to a large discount firm that wants to open a new store on the property. However, if the zoning change is not approved, the investor will have to sell the property at a loss. Profits (in
thousands of dollars) are shown in the following payoff table.

State of Nature

Rezoning Approved Rezoning Not Approved

Decision Alternative

Purchase, 670 −200

Do not purchase, 0 0

(a) If the probability that the rezoning will be approved is 0.5, what decision is recommended?

purchase

do not purchase

What is the expected profit (in dollars)?

$

(b) The investor can purchase an option to buy the land. Under the option, the investor maintains the rights to purchase the land anytime during the next three months while learning more about possible
resistance to the rezoning proposal from area residents. Probabilities are as follows:

Let

H = High resistance to rezoning
L = Low resistance to rezoning

What is the optimal decision strategy if the investor uses the option period to learn more about the resistance from area residents before making the purchase decision?

If high resistance H, d purchase. If low resistance L, d purchase.

If high resistance H, d do not purchase. If low resistance L, d purchase.

If high resistance H, d do not purchase. If low resistance L, d do not purchase.

If high resistance H, d purchase. If low resistance L, d do not purchase.

(c) If the option will cost the investor an additional $10,000, should the investor purchase the option? Why or why not? What is the maximum (in dollars) that the investor should be willing to pay for the
option?

The investor —Select— purchase this option, as the payoff of the investing in it is —Select— $10,000 dollars. In general, the cost of the option can be, at most, $ in order for
its payoff to break even with its cost of investing in it.
