<span>Assume
that Jocelyn is comparing two fixed-rate loan options, a 15 year and a
30 year mortgage. Both options have the same interest rate and amount
borrowed. The 30 year, when compared to the 15 year loan will have a lower monthly payment and a higher total cost when
repayment is completed.
The longer the spread of an annuity payment the lower the monthly payment and the higher the total cost of the loan.

Answer:
b. She should develop herself as the EMV of developing is $1.125 million, which is higher than the EMV of selling.
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.
