All American Telephones Inc. is considering the production of a new cell phone. The project will require an investment of $13 million. If the phone is well received, the project will produce cash flows of $8 million a year for 3 years, but if the market does not like the product, the cash flows will be only $1 million per year. There is a 50% probability of both good and bad market conditions. All American can delay the project a year while it conducts a test to determine whether demand will be strong or weak. The delay will not affect the dollar amounts involved for the project's investment or its cash flows-only their timing. Because of the anticipated shifts in technology, the 1-year delay means that cash flows will continue only 2 years after the initial investment is made. All American's WACC is 9%. What's the NPV without waiting? What's the NPV of waiting 1 year?
