Larry the Cucumber has been offered $14 million to star in the lead role of the next three Larry-Boy adventure movies. If Larry takes this offer, he will have to forgo acting in other Veggie movies that would pay him $5 million at the end of each of the next three years. Assume Larry's personal cost of capital is 10% per year.
