A piece of land may be purchased for $610,000 to be strip-mined for the underlying coal. Annual net income will be $200,000 for 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the surface of the land will be restored as required by a federal law on strip-mining. The reclamation will cost $1.5 million more than the land’s resale value after it is restored. Is this a desirable project, if the minimum attractive rate of return is 10%?
