1. You are valuing a 10-acre vacant lot with a septic system and a well on site. The size adjustment factor for 10 acres is 2.23.
You have found two recent sales to use as comparables.
-Sale 1 is 3.5 acres in size and has a septic system and a well on site. It sold for $200,000. The corresponding size adjustment factor for 3.5 acres is 1.57.
-Sale 2 is 7 acres in size and sold for $225,000. However, it does not have a septic system or a well, which will cost $50,000 total to install. The corresponding size adjustment factor for 7 acres is 1.93.

build a modelAn industrial park is being planned for a tract of land near a river. To prevent flood damage to the industrial buildings that will be built on this low-lying land, an earthen embankment can be constructed. The height of the embankment will be determined by an economic analysis of the costs and benefits.The following data have been gathered (Tables 1 and 2). The embankment is expected to last 40 years and will require no maintenance.Whenever the flood water flows over the embarkment, a $310,000 in annual damages occur. The corporation uses an interest rate of 15% a) if they build the embarkment, what height should it have?
