Wansley Lumber is considering the purchase of a paper company, which would require an<\/p>
initial investment of $300 million. Wansley estimates that the paper company would<\/p>
provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of<\/p>
capital for the paper company is 13%.<\/p>
<\/p>
a. Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $30 million per year or<\/p>
$50 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of<\/p>
the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2<\/p>
in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information,<\/p>
does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper<\/p>
company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%.<\/p>", "transcribed_text": "", "related_book": { "title": "Human Resource Management", "isbn": "053845315X, 978-0538453158", "edition": "13th Edition", "authors": "Robert L.
