a Question 2 (10 points) Nebraska Instruments (NI) is considering a project that has an up-front after tax cost at t= 0 of $1,000,000. The project's subsequent cash flows critically depend on whether its products become the industry standard. There is a 70 percent chance that the products will become the industry standard, in which case the project's expected after-tax cash flows will be $900,000 at the end of each of the next three years (t = 1,2,3). There is a 30 percent chance that the products will not become the industry standard, in which case the after-tax expected cash flows from the project will be $250,000 at the end of each of the next three years (t = 1,2,3). NI does not have delay option, but after three years it can expand the project one more time if it wishes to do. After three years, the expanded project's up-front cost at t = 3 will remain at $1,000,000 (certain cash flow). If it chooses to expand the project, the estimated subsequent after-tax cash flows will remain at $900,000 per year if the product becomes the industry standard, and $250,000 per year if the product does not become the industry standard. Assume that all risky cash flows are discounted at 10 percent and risk-free rate is 6 percent. 1) What is the ex (4 points) NPV of the project without considering growth (expansion) option? 2) What is the expected NPV of the project with considering growth (expansion) option?
