High Roller Properties is considering building a new casino at an after-tax cost of $9.5 million at t=0. The after-tax cash flows the casino generates will depend on whether the state imposes a new income tax, and there is a 5050 chance the tax will pass. If it passes, after-tax cash flows will be $1.875 million per year for the next 5 years. If it doesn't pass, the after-tax cash flows will be \$3.75 million per year for the next 5 years. The project's WACC is 11.8%. If the tax is passed, the firm will have the option to abandon the project 1 year from now, in which case the property could be sold to net $6.30 million after taxes at t=1. What is the value (in thousands) of this abandonment option? Do not round intermediate calculations. a. $689 b. $949 c. $1,638 d. $1,098 e. $260
