You are considering constructing a new plant in a remote wilderness area to process the ore from a planned mining operation. You anticipate that the plant will take a year to build and cost $95 million upfront. Once built, it will generate cash flows of $12 million per year starting two years from today. In 21 years, after its 20th year of operation, the mine will run out of ore and you expect to pay $145 million to shut the plant down and restore the area to its pristine state.
