Companies often come across projects that have positive NPV opportunities in which the company does not invest. Companies must evaluate the value of the option to invest in a new project that would potentially contribute to the growth of the firm. These options are referred to as growth options. Consider the case of Weghorst Co.: Weghorst Co. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $55,000. It has estimated that the annual cash flows for the project under good conditions will be $40,000 and $9,000 under bad conditions. The firm believes that there is a 60% chance of good conditions and a 40% chance of bad conditions. If the firm is using a weighted average cost of capital of 13%, the expected net present value (NPV) of the project is (Note: Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) Weghorst Co. wants to take a potential growth option into account when calculating the project's expected NPV. If a good, the firm will be able to invest $5,000 in year 2 to generate an additional cash flow of $18,000 in year 3. If conditions are bad, the fi ke any further investments in the project.
