("Falcon") is evaluating a potential site in Quebec. Based on geological research, the site appears to be rich in copper. Falcon would like to invest in the site for three years, at which time they would sell the rights. The site is estimated to contain 10.0 million tonnes of copper ore, and Falcon would make the decision to either mine or not mine in every year of operation. In any given year that Falcon mines, they believe they can extract 2.0 million tonnes of copper ore. Falcon estimates that the cash profit per tonne would be $40.00 in year 1, $45.00 in year 2, $47.00 in year 3, and when Falcon sells the rights to the site, they estimate a sales price of $55.00 per remaining tonne. What value does Falcon assign to the site, assuming a discount rate of 27.0%? Assume all cash flows from mining are received at the end of each year. 3.
