Problem 1. Determine the net present value if the warehousing requirement for the next three years are obtained from the spot market (i.e., no lease).
| Year | Spot market price |
| Year 1 (this year) | $1.20 per sq. ft. per year |
| Year 2 | 0.6 chance spot prices go up by 10% 0.4 chance spot prices go down by 10% |
| Year 3 | 0.6 chance spot prices go up by 10% 0.4 chance spot prices go down by 10% |
| Year | Demand (in thousands) |
| Year 1 (this year) | 200 units |
| Year 2 | 0.6 chance it will go up by 20% 0.4 chance if will go down by 20% |
| Year 3 | 0.6 chance it will go up by 20% 0.4 chance if will go down by 20% |
Revenue equals $1.22 per unit. Step 1. Construct the Decision Tree Step 2. Calculate the profit for each year Step 3. Calculate the NPV. (Hint: start with calculating the expected values in the third year).
