Problem 4-9 (Static) A builder has located a piece of property that she would like to buy and eventually bulld on. The land is currently zoned for four homes per acre, but she is planning to request new zoning. What she builds depends on approval of zoning requests and your analysis of this problem to advise her. With her input and your help, the decision process has been reduced to the following costs, alternatives, and probabilities Cost of land $2 million Probability of rezoning: 0.60 if the land is rezoned, there will be additional costs for new roads, lighting, and so on of S1 million If the land is rezoned, the contractor must decide whether to build a shopping center or 1,500 apartments that the tentative plan shows would be possible. If she builds a shopping center there is a 70 percent chance that she don sell the shopping center to a large department store chain for $4 million over her construction cost, which excludes the land, and there is a 30 percent chance that she can sell it to an insurance company for $5 million over her construction cost (also excluding the land). It instead of the shopping center she decides to build the 1500 apartments, she places probabilities on the profits as follows. There is a 60 percent chance that she can sell the apartments to a real estate investment corporation for $3,000 each over her construction cost there is a 40 percent chance that she can get only $2,000 each over her construction cost (Both exclude the land cost) If the land is not rezoned, she will comply with the existing zoning restrictions and simply bulld 600 homes, on which she expects to make $4.000 over the construction cost on each one (oxcluding the cost of tand) a.
