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. This opportunity to wait before making the decision is called the investment timing option.
Consider the case:
Tolbotics Inc. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $44,000. 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. The company thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong
and a 50% chance that demand will be weak.
If the company uses a project cost of capital of 12%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project? (Note: Do not round
intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

Kim expects the hotel will produce positive cash flows of $3 million a year at the end of each of the next 20 years. The project's cost of capital is 13%. Kim expects the cash flows to be $3 million a year, but it recognizes that the cash flows could actually be much higher or lower, depending on whether the Korean government imposes a large hotel tax. One year from now, Kim will know whether the tax will be imposed. There is a 50% chance that the tax will be imposed, in which case the yearly cash flows will be only $2.2 million. At the same time, there is a 50% chance that the tax will not be imposed, in which case the yearly cash flows will be $3.8 million.
