We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 6,000 units per year at $74 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual cash flow is projected to be $74 6,000 = $444,000. The relevant discount rate is 18 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,710,000. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,540,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,000 units if the first year is a success and revised downward to 4,600 units if the first year is not a success.

a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places. e.g., 32.16.)

NPV $

b. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places. e.g., 32.16.)

Option value $
