I Did the Sums

With his spreadsheet open on the kitchen table, Daniel explains to the family what the farm is worth and how it divides. Say the farm was valued at one million two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand for each of you, if you want out I'll buy your share, with what money, in instalments over ten years, and the tax comes out before the division.
