Explanation:
The probability of discovered oil = 0.25 (25%)
Selling the exploration right= Selling Price + Probability of discovered oil × Royalty% × Future Profit
= $200,000 + 0.25 × 0.25 × $7,500,000 = $668,750
Developing = Probability of finding the oil × Future Profits - Cost of Well
= 0.25 × $7,500,000 - $750,000 = $1,125,000
= $1.125 million
Therefore the EMV for selling the exploration rights is less than the developing, the landowner will develop the site by his own.
