- Q.3. Research and development manager associated a probability of success to 60% (0.6) with a research investment at time zero being successful and generating the need for an additional $300,000 development investment at the end of year 1, which is estimated to have a probability of 90% (0.9) of successfully generating profits of $200,000 per year for years 2 through 10, assuming a washout of escalation of operating cost and sales revenue. If failure occurs after the time zero research investment, a reclamation cost of $100,000 will be realized at the end of year 1. If failure occurs after year 1 investment, the salvage value will be $250,000 at the end of year 2 for equipment salvage.
