Question - Seth Bullock, the owner of Bullock Gold Mining, is evaluating a new gold mine in South Dakota. Dan Dority, the company's geologist, has just finished his analysis of the mine site. He has estimated that the mine would be productive for five years, after which the mine would be worth nothing. Dan has taken an estimate of the gold deposits to Alma Garrett, the company's financial officer.
