Question:

Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new HD DVD. If the HD DVD is successful, the present value of the payoff (at the time the product is brought to market) is $24 million. If the HD DVD fails, the present value of the payoff is $6.5 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 55 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.8 million to test-market the HD DVD. Test-marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 75 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. Should the firm conduct test-marketing?
