![4. A company wanting to build a hotel in downtown St. John's needs to buy two ad-
jacent properties. The appraised values for Properties 1 and 2 are $1,000,000, and
$2,600,000 respectively. They can try to buy these properties (by making separate
offers to the two owners) for 50% more than the appraised value, for which there is
a 75% chance that the owner of Property 1 would agree to sell, and an 80% chance
that the owner of Property 2 would agree to sell. If an offer at 1.5 times appraised
value is turned down, they could then offer double the appraised value for that prop-
erty, for which it is certain that the owner (of either property) would agree to sell.
Ending up with no properties is worth nothing; ending up with just one property
is worth only the appraised value of that one property; ending up owning both is
worth $6,000,000.
