There is a 50% chance that X would be hugelysuccessful and would generate annual after-tax cash flows of $7 million per year duringYears 1, 2, and 3. However, there is a 50% chance that X would be less successful and wouldgenerate only $1 million per year for the 3 years. If Project X is hugely successful, it wouldopen the door to another investment, Project Y, which would require an outlay of $8 millionat the end of Year 2.

WorldTrans is evaluating a new project that would cost $8.2 million at t = 0. There is a 50% chance that the project would be highly successful and generate annual after-tax cash flows of $6.2 million during Years 1, 2, and 3. However, there is a 50% chance that it would be less successful and would generate only $1 million for each of the 3 years. If the project is highly successful, it would open the door for another investment of $10 million at the end of Year 2, and this new investment could be sold for $20 million at the end of Year 3. Assuming a WACC of 8.5%, what is the project's expected NPV (in thousands) after taking into account this growth option? Do not round intermediate calculations.

JBL Inc. is considering a new product that would require an after-tax investment of $1,400,000 at t = 0. If the new product is well received, then the project would produce after-tax cash flows of $ 650,000 at the end of each of the next 3 years (t = 1, 2, 3), but if the market did not like the product, then the cash flows would be only $100,000 per year. There is a 70% probability that the market will be good. JBL Inc. could delay the project for a year while it conducted a test to determine if demand would be strong or weak. The project's cost and expected annual cash flows are the same whether the project is delayed or not; however, the timing of the cash flows would change. (There would be the same number of cash flows-only the cash flows would be extended out one extra year.) The project's WACC is 10%. What is the value of the project after considering the investment timing option? a. $108, 226.89 b. $ 137, 743.32 c. $167, 259.75 d. $196, 776.18 e. $216, 453.79

Wavy Inc is examining a project that requires an initial investment of -10 million today. This will be followed by several years of positive incremental after-tax cash flows. However, during the last year of the project's life Wavy expects that the incremental cash flow will again be negative. By which method should Wavy determine whether or not to invest? A) Both NPV or IRR are fine, as they must arrive at same investment decision B) IRR, because there will be no NPV solution in this case C) Neither NPV or IRR are useful in this situation D) NPV, since this project will have two IRRs
