Problem 3-11 (Algo) Perot Corporation is developing a new CPU chip based on a new type of technology. Its new chip, the Patay2 chip, will take two years to develop. However , because other chip manufacturers will be able to copy the technology, it will have a market life of two years after it is introduced. Perot expects to be able to price the chip higher in the first year, and it anticipates a significant production cost reduction after the first year as well. The relevant information for developing and selling the Patay2 is given as follows: BATAY2 CREP PRODUCT ESTIMATES Development cost $ 20,000,000 Plot testing $5,000,000 Debug $ 2,400,000 Ramp-up cost 5 3.000.000 Advance marketing $ 3.800,000 Marketing and support cost $1,000,000 per year Unit production cost year 1 655.00 Unit production cont year 2 545.00 Unit price year 1 $ 820.00 Unit price year 2 5 650.00 Sales and production volume year 1 250,000 Sales and production volume year 2 150,000 Interest rate 10 $ $ PAT2 TING YARI YAR2 POT SCH YUR YE IST WAL HALF MAU AL HU WALT MAL PATAYI Development Not Testing Debu Ado Martin Marting and support Production and Sales Assume all cash flows occur at the end of each period Help & E Assume all cash flows occur at the end of each period . What is the net present value at the discount rate of 10% of this project? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Round your answer to the nearest thousand) b. Porot's engineers have determined that spending $10 million more on development will allow them tondd even more advanced features. Having a more advanced chip will allow them to price the chip $50 higher in both years (5870 for year 1 and 5700 for yer 2) What is the NPV of the project if this option is implemented?
