Consider the following project data: A Shs 2.3 million feasibility study will be conducted at t =0. If the
study indicates potential, the firm will spend Shs 11 million at t=1 to build a prototype. The best
estimate is that there is an 75% chance that the study will indicate potential and 25% chance that it will
not. If reception of the prototype is good the firm will spend Sh.342 million to build a production plant at
t=2. The best estimate is that there is a 70% chance that the prototypes reception will be poor. If the
plant is built, theres a 63% chance of a t=3 cash inflow of Shs 313 million and a 37% chance of Shs
145 million cash inflow. If the inflow at t=3 is Shs 313 million, there are 33% and 67% chances of Shs
165 million and Shs 93 million inflows respectively at t=4. If the inflow at t=3 is Shs 145 million, there
are 82% and 18% chances of Shs 215 million and Shs 147 million inflows respectively at t=4. The plant
has a salvage value of Shs 49 million at t=5.
If the appropriate cost of capital is 14.4% what is the projects expected NPV?
