Freal is a commercial real estate developer. It is interested in acquiring land to build a shopping centre. The cost associated with land acquisition and construction is estimated to be $60 million. There are two options available to Freal:

1. A Lease option where the company sells the property in year 1 and undertakes a leaseback for two more years;

2. A Sale option where the company sells the property at the end of year 3.

The cash flows for the lease or sale option are:

Year	Lease ($ million)	Sale ($ million)
1	60	12
2	9	12
3	9	67
