Stage 1: At time 0 conduct a $80,000 study of the market potential for the new printer. Stage 2: If it appears that a sizable market exist for the machine it will spend $100,000 developing prototypes of the printer. Stage 3: Depending on the tests of the prototype the firm will either build a high volume machine for a cost of $50,000 or not produce any machine. If it does produce a machine there are three possible sets of cash flows generated for each machine. Each set of cash flows is expected to continue in perpetuity. The project is represented in the decision tree below. t=0 t=1 t=2 t=3 to infinity NPV@10% Prob 100,000 0.2 -50,000 40,000 0.8 0.6 0.2 -7,000 -100,000 0.8 -80,000 0.2 0 0.2 0 a) Calculate the expected NPV for the project assuming the correct weighted average cost of capital is 10%. Include the probabilities you use (show how you set up the problem) (10 points) b) How much would the firm be willing to pay for an option to abandon the project if the firm realizes that the outcome with negative 7,000 cash flow each year after time t = 3 is correct? Assume that it must take the first -7,000 then can abandon the project and eliminate any future losses. The firm will also be able to sell the machine for $40,000 tax free (the 40,000 would also be received at time t=3)
