What is the maximum amount that we can bid for an offshore lease if we have a 30% investment opportunity rate (and assume we can predict exactly what will happen)? Assume annual compounding. The timing of the investments and the production schedule are contained in the following tables. Do your analysis BFIT. End of 15 years: Salvage Value = abandonment costs The present value of the production, discounted at 10%, at the beginning of year 5 (end of year 4) is $88 MM.

Drill delineation well at a cost of $1.5 MM. Drill delineation well at a cost of $1.5 MM. Begin platform construction at a cost of $10 MM. Continue platform construction at a cost of $10 MM. Install pipeline - cost = $2 MM. Set platform cost = $1 MM. Drill and complete wells = $20 MM. Commence production. See production schedule.
