8.This question is a variant of the Sport Hotel example that was presented in class, in the class notes, and in the Real Option chapter.

The change to consider is this: suppose that the value of the hotel is one of two values: $9.4million if the city is successful in obtaining the franchise (and not $8 million as in the original problem) or $3.6if the city is not successful in obtaining the franchise (and not $2 million as in the original problem).

All other aspects of the problem are the same as originally presented, such as the costs per year. Assume that the probability of obtaining the franchise is 50%. Incorporating these new hotel values from above, and the real option, what is the new NPV of the project?

$_______million

Place your answer in millions of dollars using at least three decimal places. For example, the answer of nine hundred seventy five thousand would be entered as 0.975 and not as 975000.
