Reference no: EM131414090

Vacant land has been zoned for either one 10,000- square-foot five-unit condominium or two single-family homes, each with 3,000 square feet. The cost of constructing the single-family homes is $100 per square foot and the cost of constructing the condominium is $120 per square foot. If the real estate market does well next year, the homes can be sold for $300 per square foot and the condominiums for $230 per square foot. If the market performs poorly, the homes can be sold for $200 per square foot and the condos for $140 per square foot. Today, comparable homes could be sold for $225 per square foot and comparable condos for $180 per square foot. First-year rental rates (paid at the end of the year) on the comparable condos and homes are 20 percent and 10 percent, respectively, of today's sales prices.
