Please Please Please answer #$8.$ I have #$7$ done. Use this information for this and the next $2$ questions. HCB$,$ Inc. is considering investing in a new

'We're # $1\text{'}$ foam hand cutting facility. If UT has a successful year, then demand will be high and cash

flows will be $$100,000$ per year for $3$ years starting in Year $1.$ If UT has a bad year, then demand will be

low and cash flows will be $$30,000$ per year for $3$ years starting in Year $1.$ The probability of UT having a

good year and demand being high is $60\%$ and the probability of a bad year and low demand is $40\%.$ It

will cost $$150,000$ to purchase the equipment. HCB$\text{'}$s WACC is $10\%.$ Calculate the expected NPV of this

project.

a$.$ $$26,412$

b$.$ $$29,053$

c$.,$$$31,959$

d$.$ $$35,155$

e$.,$$$38,670$

If HCB waits a year to invest, it will know which demand scenario is going to occur and therefore

which cash flows will occur. These cash flows will occur in Years $2,3,$ and $4.$ HCB will only invest in Year $1$

if it is optimal to do so$.$ Use a decision tree to find the expected NPV of the project, which is an

investment timing option. Note, the investment amount is known with certainty and is therefore

discounted at the risk$-$free rate of $6\%.$

a$.,$$$50,741$

b$.$ $$55,815$

c$.,$$$61,396$

d$.$ $$67,536$

e$.,$$$74,290$

Suppose HCB wants to evaluate the investment timing option above with a financial option. Find the

value of $P,$ the underlying security or asset, for use in the Black$-$Scholes Option Pricing Model.

a$.134,525$

b$.147,978$

c$.162,776$

d$.179,053$
