- 4. Investment timing options Companies often need to choose between making an investment now or waiting until the company can gather more relevant information about the potential project.

If market demand is strong, Tolbotics Inc. thinks that the project will generate cash flows of $29,000 per year. However, if market demand is weak, the company believes that the project will generate cash flows of only $2,000 per year.
