Initialcost of machinery, land, equipment, and other things amounts to $110 million. This $110million will be depreciated straight-line to zero over a seven-year accounting life.However, the expected market value of the fixed assets at the end of four years is $50million.

We expect to sell 8,800 units per year at $191 net cash flow apiece (including CCA) for the next 16 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $191 × 8,800 = $1,680,800. The relevant discount rate is 10%, and the initial investment required is $5,590,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,550 units if the first year is 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. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) NPV $ b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $2,846,000. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.
