Question: A start-up company, HEALTH V19 Unlimited, operates under ideal conditions of uncertainty. HEALTH V19 Unlimited produces a single influenza vaccine, the demand for which will fall to zero at the end of 2 years. At that time, the highly specialized equipment used to produce the vaccine will be worthless. The required equipment was all purchased on January 1, 2020. This capital expenditure was financed by a bank loan of $220,000 and the balance by issuing capital stock. The loan of $220,000 will be repaid at the end of 2021.

HEALTH V19s operations are highly dependent upon how contagious the targeted strain of virus is each year (2020 and 2021). For either year, the probabilities are 0.3 that the strain will be highly contagious, and 0.7 that it will be normally contagious. The state probabilities are independent over time.

HEALTH V19 Unlimited will pay $15,000 dividends at the end of each year of operation.

Interest on the bank loan is fixed at 4% throughout the term of the loan and is payable at the end of each year. HEALTH V19 Unlimited does not receive any cash flow from its products sales until the end of each year. The cash flows for HEALTH V19s sales under each state realization are provided in the following payoff table:

Cash Flow Cash Flow

State Probability 2020 2021

Highly contagious 0.3 $ 1,000,000 $ 900,000

Normally contagious 0.7 $ 310,000 $ 150,000

In 2020 the state realization is highly contagious and in 2021 normally contagious.
