The following are 3 different questions: (1) The firm has a 75% chance if it invests -$1,500 a return of $500 for 7-years, and a 25% chance of returning $25 for 7-years. Assuming that all cash flows are discounted at 10%. Calculate the effect of waiting on the project's risk, using the same data. By how much will delaying reduce the project's coefficient of variation? (Hint: Use the expected NPV.)

(2) The firm has a 75% chance if it invests -$1,500 a return of $500 for 7-years, and a 25% chance of returning $25 for 7-years. Assuming that all cash flows are discounted at 10%, if NPC chooses to wait a year before proceeding, how much will this increase or decrease the project's expected NPV in today's dollars (i.e., at t = 0), relative to the NPV if it proceeds today?
