Albert Co. is considering a four-year project that will require an initial investment of $7,000. The base-case cash flows for this project are projected to be $12,000 per year. The best-case cash flows are projected to be $19,000 per year, and the worst-case cash flows are projected to be $3,000 per year. The company's analysts have estimated that there is a 50% probability that the project will generate the base-case cash flows. The analysts also think that there is a 25% probability of the project generating the best-case cash flows and a 25% probability of the project generating the worst-case cash flows. What would be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project if the project's cost of capital is 11% ? $19,219$24,024$20,420$26,426 Albert now wants to take into account its ability to abandon the project at the end of year 2 if the project ends up generating the worse cash flows. If it decides to abandon the project at the end of year 2 , the company will receive a one-time net cash inflow of $4,750 (at the end of 2). The $4,750 the company receives at the end of year 2 is the difference between the cash the company receives from selling off the projects and the company's $3,000 cash outflow from operations. Additionally, if it abandons the project, the company will have no cash flows in years 3 and 4 of the project. Using the information in the preceding problem, find the expected NPV of this project when taking the abandonment option into account. \begin{tabular}{l|l|} $26,639 & $2,877 \\ $23,975 & $1,961 \\ $31,967 & $1,700 \\ $25,307 & $2,615 \\ \hline & $2,223 \\ \hline \end{tabular} What is the value of the option to abandon the project
