J&R Construction Company is an international conglomerate with a real estate division that owns the right to erect an office building on a parcel of land in downtown Sacramento over the next year. This building would cost $42 million to construct. Due to low demand for office space in the downtown area, such a building is worth approximately $41.5 million today. If demand increases, the building would be worth $42.7 million a year from today. If demand decreases, the same office building would be worth only $41 million in a year. The company can borrow and lend at the risk-free annual effective rate of 2.5 percent. A local competitor in the real estate business has recently offered $483,000 for the right to build an office building on the land.
