Question
Here is the ORIGINAL data of the Sporthotel problem: 1. Projected outflows First year (Purchase Right, Land, and Permits) $1,000,000 Second Year (Construct building shell $2,000,000 Third Year: (Finish interior and furnishings) $2,000,000 TOTAL $5,000,000 2. Projected inflows If the franchise is granted hotel will be worth: $8,000,000 when it opened If the franchise is denied hotel will be worth: $2,000,000 when it opened. The probability of the city being awarded the franchise is 50%. Assume that everything is the same in the problem except for one thing: the first year projected outflow is not $1 million but instead is $1.1 million. Given this change, The project’s NPV = _______ million
Explanation / Answer
Total Cash Outflow after change = $1.1million + $2million + $2million = $5.1million
The value of the inflows,
NPV = inflows - outflows = $5million - $5.1million = ($100,000).
The NPV of the project is negative so the project should not be taken up.
Situation Probability Worth Value(considering probability) Franchise is granted 50% or 0.5 $8million $4million (prob.*worth) Franchise is denied 1-0.5 = 0.5 $2million $1million (prob.*worth) TOTAL $5million
