Need Step by Step Help in figuring out the answer. Complete working.

A Canadian firm is evaluating a project in the United States. This project involves the establishment of alumber mill in Wisconsin to process Canadian timber. The factory expects to service clients in theconstruction industry. All cash flow figures are in thousands.Initial Investment. The initial investment is CAD 33,000. The project is over a period of three years. Thisinvestment will be depreciated straight line to zero.Operating Results. The firm expects two likely scenarios for the first year of operations. Under thefavorable scenario (probability of 33%), the firm expects to produce and sell 1,200 units of a product.Under the unfavorable scenario (probability of 66%), it expects to produce and sell only 700 units. Theselling price is expected to be CAD 40; the variable expense is expected to be CAD 15, and fixed costsexcluding depreciation are expected to be CAD 3,500.Additional Investment. If the firm encounters the favorable scenario during year 1, it could make aninvestment of CAD 16,000 to enable it to produce and sell a total of 2,400 units (double the units) in thesecond and third years. The cost parameters remain unchanged with the exception of depreciation. Thissecondary investment will be depreciated equally in years 2 and 3. If the firm chooses not to make theinvestment in year 1, the results of year 1 will be repeated during years 2 and 3.Discount Rate and Miscellaneous. Assume a discount rate of 9 percent and zero taxes.

a. Estimate the NPV of the project.

b. Estimate the NPV of the option to expand.
