If the project is undertaken, Baps would terminate the project after four years. Baps cost of capital is 10%, and the project is of the same risk as Baps existing projects. All cash flows generated from the project will be remitted to the parent at the end of each year. Listed below are the estimated cash flows the Norwegian subsidiary will generate over the projects lifetime in Norwegian kroner (NOK):

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
