The standard deviation of the Mark II's present value is only 26% (vs 41%)?

Thank you!

Assumptions 1. The decision to invest in the Mark II must be made after three years, in 1985. 2. The Mark II has an investment requirement of $930 million, which is taken as fixed. 3. Forecasted cash inflows of the Mark II have a present value in 1985 of $837 million and $484 million (837 / 1.23 = 484) in 1982. 4. The future value of the Mark II cash flows is highly uncertain. This value evolves as a stock price does with a standard deviation of 414 per year. 5. The annual interest rate is 11%. Interpretation The opportunity to invest in the Mark II 1s a three-year call option on an asset worth $484 million with an exercise price of $930 million. How does the value of the option to invest in the Mark Il in 1982 change if: a. The investment required for the Mark It is $830 million (vs. $930 million)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Option value b. The present value of the Mark II in 1982 is $530 million (vs. $484 million)? (Do not round Intermediate calculations.
