McCormick & Company is considering building a new factory in Largo, Maryland. James Francis, a landowner, is selling a 4.35-acre parcel of industrial zoned land with a listed sale price of $3,000,000.00 for the land. McCormick & Company is interested in the land and so is another manufacturing company. The competing manufacturing company has made a full offer of $3,000,000.00 for the land. McCormick & Company knows it can make an offer to outbid the competitor to obtain the land. So, McCormick & Company decided to offer $4,424,000.00.

Now, the landowner must make a decision between the two competing offers. To make this decision, James should first identify the Future Value (FV) of each offer. James's bank is offering a 12 percent interest rate when invested through the bank-managed growth stock portfolios. Let's help James make his decision by answering the following questions using the template to the right.
