Answer:
A) initial outlay = $20,000
expected cash flows = (40% x $27,000) + (60% x $6,000) = $14,400
NPV = -$20,000 + $14,400/1.13 + $14,400/1.13² = $4,020.68
B) Fethe acquires franchise $20,000
- things go bad, NPV = -$20,000 + $6,000/1.13 + $6,000/1.13² = -$9,991.39. The project is abandoned after the first 2 years.
- things go well, NPV = -$20,000 + $27,000/1.13 + $27,000/1.13² = $25,038.77. The franchise is renewed for 2 more years.
⇒ since the project continues, the present value of the cash flows are:
year 0 = -$20,000
year 1 = $27,000/1.13 = $23,893.81
year 2 = $27,000/1.13² - $20,000/1.04² = $5,482.03
year 3 = $27,000/1.13³ = $18,712.35
year 4 = $27,000/1.13⁴ = $16,559.61
NPV = $44,647.80
