Question: Assume that capital markets do not exist. Ryan has $ 8 5 , 0 0 0 today ( t = 0 ) and will receive

Assume that capital markets do not exist. Ryan has $85,000 today (t=0) and will receive $105,000 in exactly one year (t=1). The
graph below illustrates point Y : having $85,000 now and receiving $105,000 next year. Here, if no capital or financial market exists,
then Ryan must consume $85,000 now and $105,000 next year. Next consider this case when borrowing and lending at r=10% are
available in the financial markets; Ryan now has a real investment opportunity, or business project. If Ryan decides to accept this
opportunity, it will cost $27,500 now (t=0) and will offer a risk-free payoff of $40,000 next year. Now, revisit the point Y where Ryan
has $85,000 now and will receive $105,000 next year, but this time the real asset project exists. Assume that he still wants to consume
$85,000 now (t=0), and answer the following.
a. How much more can Ryan consume next year?
Ryan can consume
b. Calculate the NPV of the project. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
NPV
 Assume that capital markets do not exist. Ryan has $85,000 today
