Sirmans Corp. is considering a new product that would require an investment of $9 million at t = 0.If the new product is well received, then the project would produce after-tax cash flows of $3.75 million at the end of each of the next 3 years (t = 1, 2, 3), but if the market did not like the product, then the cash flows would be only $1.85 million per year.There is a 60% probability that the market will be good.Sirmans Corp. could delay the project for a year while it conducted a test to determine if demand would be strong or weak.The project's cost and expected annual cash flows are the same whether the project is delayed or not; however, the timing of the cash flows would change.(There would be the same number of cash flowsonly the cash flows would be extended out one extra year.)The project's WACC is 9%.What is the value of the project after considering the investment timing option?
